Anyone able to shed some light on this setup? Just bought a new house, unable to complete my internet/cable setup. Is all this FiOS equipment? Was there possibly a home intercom system?
Not even sure the source coax input is connected to anything, so getting internet and cable to work seems unlikely.
The white modem is mine, just trying to figure out what's what.

Looks like a telephone system. FiOS would be the black router on the right. Just call your ISP and they'll handle it.

I also can't believe all that data stream is right next to an AC box.
 
If not telephone it could also be tied into some type of security system that was installed before you bought this house.
Your best bet if your not familiar with security/fios/ethernet/cable is to have someone that knows networking thoroughly check your set up
 
On second look, that FiOS router actually has an ethernet cable going to the ONT (the one with the black sticker on it), and what looks like RJ11(?) coming off of it. I'd check where that lead goes to.
 
Cable is my game, and that is some ****ty cable. You're going to want to turn to a professional on this one, get an installer in there to mop things up and clean up your situation like Joe C said above. Sorry for the trouble you're going through.
