Somebody on this forum a few weeks back said this could be done.
If it can it would be a violation of your TOS as for it to work you would havve to be acquiring two dhcp addresses from the VZ network.
Tech support told me that installation of router downstram of ActionTec router does not violate TOS. It merely remove Verizon support & ActionTec's router from the loop for Internet services, and of course its no longer Verizon's problem should any problems arise on the installed router or it's network (CAUTION: this is done at your own risk). In theory that could be hardwired or wireless. Those services which retain connection from the ONT to Verizon's ActionTec router will similarly retain viable Verizon responsibility and FIOs support.
"The complaint was that Verizon's router wasn't suppling adequate connection speeds desired, so the recommendation was that someone could in fact install a router downstream ahead of the ActionTec one to supply the Internet / Intranet services and the ActionTec would maintain the FIOs TV and Telephone services. This non-usage of the ActionTec's router for the 'Internet' would mean disabling its features plus the wireless support as well (otherwise that would require obtaining a new address from Verizon). Maintaining these as a dual Internet connection & utilizing both routers would be a bandwith issue as per Verizon, but running those services off a singular router is not (see below)..
The aforemention self-installed router also means that you are on your own with its configuration and its connections with respects to 'your' network. Verizon still maintains control of gateway connection at the ONT, so any connections upstream of this can be of your own choosing. ActionTec's router is already a dual purpose router and preconfigured and constructed for A) FIOs services, B) supply Network services and connection, so if one purpose is negated the other will still operate as intended.
