You'll still need your FiOS gateway (the Actiontec). Connect an ethernet cable from one of the numbered ports on the Actiontec to the "WAN" port on this Netgear router and go through the setup procedure. The Netgear will give you the option to serve as a wireless access point instead of a router. This is good. The Netgear's Wi-Fi will be superior to that of the Actiontec, which will work fine as a router, and the DST can be strategically placed to extend the network's wireless reach. The only other thing to remember to do is disable the Wi-Fi on the Actiontec so it doesn't interfere with the wireless signals of the Netgear equipment.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I assume the M1424WR is a modem. You will still need a modem to connect to your internet provider, and you would connect this router to the modem. The extender can then go wherever you want a boosted signal.
