I've just ended TV service with Verizon but (for now) am continuing with their internet and landline. I'm considering upgrading from my legacy 75 Mbps router to 300 Mbps service but would want to buy my own router.
Question 1: Is there a list somewhere of third-party routers that (a) are compatible with Verizon Fios, and (b) can support a landline phone (digital voice)? (None of the lists for Fios-compatible routers I've seen mention anything about phone service.)
Question 2: If I switched to Xfinity at some point (also with landline), would any of those routers work for them, too?
Thanks!

The official tech support does not do home network planning. For questions like this, you need to ask them here.
Like I said, if you can repurpose the telephone CAT5e's into Ethernets, that's the cheapest way to go. You can use any router you want and can have the router upstairs.
If not, you can either buy a non-VZ router and a pair (2) of MoCA adapters, OR a VZ router with a single (1) MoCA adapter. The MoCA adapter you linked is overpriced. goCoax is cheaper even comes with 2.5GbE ports.
The Verizon G3100 and E3200 can utilize the existing coaxial cable infrastructure. The 3200 has two Ethernet jacks on the back which can be used to support a computer and a switch (to allow more devices to be connected to the network).
