Re: FIOS TV Central website access with Non AT Router?

Ok to answer your questions. Here is the connection diagram:

ONT->cat5->[WAN Port-Buffalo-LAN Port]->Cat5->[Lan Port- ActionTec]

So they are connected Lan to Lan as you suggested. The IP configuration on the ActionTec is that it acquires it's IP Address via DHCP from the Buffalo. The internal DHCP server of the ActionTec which serves the COAX and Ethernet Lan ports is disabled. All IP's in the network are given out by the Buffalo, this inludes the ActionTec and the STB's.

Like I stated, this configuration does 'work' however I'm missing the ability to use the FIOS Central site to see my DVR's.

I have tried enabling the DHCP server on the ActionTec so that it gives the STB's their IP Addresses but they still seemed to get their IP's from the Buffalo. I may have to tweak with this config more. I'm not sure how much it matters what router the STB's get their IP's from.

I hope that clarifies things.

Probably because Verizon sees the MAC address of your Linksys and knows it's not an Actiontec. There might be a pre-linkup where Verizon checks the status of your STBs, but since the the Linksys cannot communicate with the STB's in the same manner as the Actiontec, it doesn't allow it. IMHO.
