We are trying to connect a PS3 to the fios router and its asking for the PPPOE and PASSWORD. What is this? How do we find this out? We tried our Verizon username and passcode. That is not working. Plz help!
You are probably connecting wrong if it asking this. Only the router itself needs this info with FIOS service (and that is assuming you are in one of the few areas where FIOS uses pppoe.
Just use DHCP / Automatic / Simple setup if you're going through a router. If anything your router is already holding a PPP or DHCP session, and Verizon will not allow you to pull more than one. That is, unless you pay for additional IP addresses which requires business service.
If you're connecting into the ONT directly to get NAT 1 on a PS3, you should consider looking at UPnP or DMZ first.
I remember as a PPPoE user with a switch before the Ethernet routers, if you had ethernet from the ONT, you could pull more than one IP. The bandwidth would just be split between the two routers. No gain such as added speeds, But most areas are migrating to DHCP. Regardless if you are able to obtain more that a single IP on a residential service, you are in violation of the TOS. I did it briefly just as a test.
