Fios question

[BStecke]

I can't find any info on how to get this to work, and from the small bits of info I've found, I don't think it will work, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

I have an Actiontech (sp?) router provided by Verizon. The range totally sucks balls. My router is downstairs and the internet connection barely works upstairs . . . we're talking the router is literally right at the bottom of the stairs, and the room I want to be in upstairs is right at the top of the stairs. So . . . I want to use my Netgear Rangemax router instead of this POS Verizon one.

How do I do this?? Everything I've read has implied that I need to use the Netgear in conjunction with the Actiontech . . . I'd rather not daisy chain them like that, as it would look rather ghetto where I have it. Plus . . . it just seems stupid to have two things to serve one purpose.

Any help is appreciated.
