Once he has completed the things he wants to do I will update the thread to see if it worked or not. My next step is to use a router of my choice as the primary internet device and then put this crappy Actiontec router into bridge mode to support the MoCA equipment. Atleast this way my internet will not go down constantly (I hope) and this will still allow the DVR/STB devices to still not work which I thin is Verizon's master plan.
You don't need to put it in bridge mode.
You can add your router as any subnet other than 192.168.1 and then connect the VZ router as a subordinate i.e. your router lan port -> VZ router wan port.
It's not really necessary, except for caller id on tv, but I would suggest that if you do connect it that way that you forward from your router to the vz router the 3 port ranges that are in the VZ router pf rules maked as verizon services.
That way the verizon router will be completely segregated from the premises network
Also that way you can still test anything that you are testing on the VZ subnet without interfering with your main internet connection via your router.
