Hello Aaron,
Don’t worry so much about the FiOS equipment. Not sure it is worth the trouble. Unless you recommend otherwise I may just purchase the units reviewed here on MR. MR and other reviews are very favorable. The operate about the 1GHz frequency and are MoCA v1.1, too. Only concern I have is the network security you mentioned. I don’t want to chance someone accessing my network via this. They do mention the ability for data encryption, but then go on to say this is not available to the consumer.
