    I'm not happy with the performance of my Verizon Fios Actiontec router/modem. I'd like to replace it with an asus router but the fios modem/router runs of a coax cable and I don't know how I would go about changing it out. Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks

    daisy chain the asus router off the Actiontec. connect the wan port of the asus to one of the lan ports of the Actiontec.
