I was one of the first FIOS internet customers in LA.

 Will replacing my Actiontec M1424WR (rev A) Router to a newer (rev E) or( rev F) of the same router model increase my WIFI range?

Thanks

Probably only if the new router has wireless wireles-N capabilities.  Very doubtful that VZ will do that for you.  You'd be better off purchasing your own router, not actiontec, and connecting it to the VZ router.

Thanks, but won't adding (daisy-chaining) a second router (wireless N) cause IP address issues? And . . . can you recommend a good wireless N router/

Not if you use a LAN-to-LAN configuration.

Can I use my wireless or an extra router along with the Verizon provided router
