OK, so it is not just a interference issue that the FIOS has, it is just not up 
to handling the bandwidth. My Apple device is several years old betwfore they 
had separated the 802.11N from the 802.11(BG) antenna let alone have 802.11AC 
support I currently have very little traffic that stays on the LAN, is it worth 
getting a new router at this point or is the uplink to the Verizon switch 
likely to be my choke point.
Thanks,
Jonathan 

                Best wishes,

Jonathan
