@HelpFixDecoApp Thank you.  If I can do that, the next question is whether the set up can be as such:

VZ ONT via MoCA --> Deco Unite (Main) (located on another floor) --> Decon Unit (Satellites) ??

  @HelpFixDecoApp Circlinhg back to you after being on the road for a bit.  

Here's where I'm at:  I can't get ethernet to the ONT from another floor. I'm resolved to the fact that the Deco main unit will be next to the Gateway. I'll then place the two Deco satellites on other floors of the house.  I should get the full coverage I need with that set-up.  I've been using the Deco in AP mode via th Verizon router and it's not bad at all. But of course, I want to eliminate the router if I can.

So now I need to turn my attention to connecting the Deco to the ONT and need som help:

- Is it plug and play or do I need any configuration info from Verizon?

- Removing the existing ethernet from the router and putting it into any of the Deco ports is easy.  But the router also has a coax connected to it from the outside (not from the ONT). What do I do with that coax?  There's a coax connection on the ONT that's not used - do I connect to that? 

- Finally, do I need to factory reset and Deco for this new set up OR, after powering off and back on, will I simply change the Deco setting from AP to Router mode and it will know to use the existing network info I'm currently using to connect to the Deco?

Thanks for all your help and guidance!

- You can simply change the Deco setting from AP to Router mode and it will know to use the existing network info.  In Router mode, you will have additional option to configure your Internet connection (using the info provided by Verizon).

When you switch the Deco to Router mode, the main Deco starts acting as a Router, and the satellite Decos remain satellites of the main Deco.

  @yves_b Really?  I don't have to remove the Verizon router?  Just change the setting on the Deco to Router?  That's surprising. 

  @HSBoston I was responding to your final question.

  @yves_b ah, but what about the question about the coax that is currently connected to the Router?
