Hello, I can use some help with a few networking questions please. I have verizon FIOS, there a is huge box on the wall [I am guessing that is my "modem"?] and a router is connected to that big box. I had thought the Default Gateway is the Modem's address but now I am thinking the Default gateway's address is the router's ip address? If this is correct then does this mean the modem will have an ip address of it's own? if yes, how do I ping the modem to find it's ip address please?
