There's actually even more nuance to it than that:

FiOS (although, I thought that was owned by Frontier now? It certainly was 
when I had it up here [.wa.us]) with TV service requires MoCA (Multimedia 
over CoAxial), and thus requires the use of their (awful) combined 
router/wifi/MoCA bridge that connects to the ONT (Optical Network Terminal) 
over MoCA. In that case, you need to set it up to bridge to your own router 
behind it, &c.

However, if you are using internet/phone-only FiOS service, you can get the 
service technician to hook your router directly to the ONT via Ethernet, as 
it supports both.
