That is correct - FiOS is fibre Optic whereas our CenturyLink arrives via phone line, so we need a modem to convert the signal

I have had three replies come in overnight from Netgear (the person I spoke to on the phone sounded Indian, so that may explain the timing) so hopefully with them, and the help given by you good people, I should be up and running soon
