I've had FiOS for a long time but I just moved to a new house that is pre-wired throughout with CAT-5E. The FiOS ONT is in my garage and is connected via Ethernet to a rev. I Actiontec which is sitting in a central wiring panel in my basement. I'm only going to be using a couple of wired drops so those are connected directly to the LAN ports on the Actiontec. I don't have a problem using the Actiontec as my primary router (we have FiOS phone and TV so I'd like the guide data on the STBs and caller ID info) but unfortunately, it's not a good option for my wireless devices because 1) it's located in the basement and 2) it doesn't have a 5GHz radio. I have an Asus RT-N66U router that I'd like to use for wireless. I realize that I'll need to disable wireless on the Actiontec and connect the Asus router to an Ethernet drop. Can anybody tell me what else I'd need to do to the Asus router if I just want to use it for wireless connections? Thanks very much!
