If your WNDR3800 is directly connected to the ONT with ethernet then you only need to configure the actiontech in bridge mode and connect an ethernet from a WNDR3800 LAN port to an actiontech LAN port (not WAN), then it will act as an ethernet to coax bridge.
If you have only a coax network, then you'd need a double bridge like Stephen mentioned. There's guides on dslreports to use a custom router with FiOS. However, getting caller ID on settop boxes and other features I haven't been able to do yet, it requires some advanced port forwarding or something.
