New Install; no coax

Is coax still required for Fios TV? 

The way my home is setup, I really have no way of running coax to the TV without busting open drywall. 

I only have an ethernet port by the TV that was put in when the walls were open during a kitchen remodel.  I didnt bother running coax at that time becuase i thought Fios only used ethernet.

You could try using a MoCa to ethernet adapter on the router side, and an ethernet to MoCa adaptor on the cable box side and use the existing ethernet.

For 4100 series STBs, the main unit "the VMS" requires a coaxial cable to connect to the ONT.

The 4100 mini STBs can connect using coax, Ethernet or WiFi.
