By connecting Actiontec LAN to Linksys WAN, you have created a second subnet. You didnlt indicate what the IP range was on the Linksys, but in order for this configuration to work, the Linksys subnet must be different from the Actiontec's subnet (192.168.1.x).
In order to access the Linksys admin pages, you must be connected to the Linksys LAN.

I am not sure how I can disable DHCP on the cisco OLD router if I cant access its control panel?
As long as the two routers are connected LAN-to-WAN, you don't want to disable DHCP on the Linksys. If you do so, devices connected to the Linksys won;t be able to get a DHCP address.
If you want a single logical network, a better solution is to connect the two routers LAN-to-LAN,
Can I use my wireless or an extra router along with the Verizon provided router?
