Wait Wait, I have had FiOS since the getgo so let me offer an explanation b4 u go dumping money or routers and nonsense.
Ok so 1st, do you have JUST internet or internet tv etc
If you have just internet then chances are verizon ran a Cat5e cable to you Auctiontec POS (Peace of Shit)
If you have TV there is a catch, the internet is getting to your router via coax cable, the reasoning for this is the TV boxes need internets too.
Now I have the Internet + Phone + TV at my house, here is how I set it up:
1) I ran a Cat6 line from the outside box (its under the customer openable part) to my network room (a small room on the 2nd floor)
2) The Cat6 went into the WAN port of my D-Link DIR 655 Router
3) From there I ran a line to the rack switch that sits in the room to my home servers and game server (For my LAN party's xD )
4) From the LAN 2 Port I ran a Line to my other router a D-Link 8 Port Gigabit switch, from there to my computers
5) From the 8 port switch I ran a line into the WAN on the Auctiontec because u need to keep this in the network for the TV's, and put the coax into there aswell
Now u can bypass most of this by doing:
Router ---> Switch (I recommend not putting the Auctiontec right into the Main Router) ------> Verizon Router
The more complicated way is only if u have TV
If u have TV and feel like not hooking up there router have fun with no On Demand, Chanel Guides, Widgets, etc
