First of all, I work for an ISP. I can assure you that anything that ActionTec makes is unmitigated garbage. Only use it if you absolutely must, and have it do as little as possible. If you can put it into bridged mode so that the NAT/routing functionality can be done by something behind it, your years ahead.
Also, using USB for network connections is idiotic. Go Ethernet from the FIOS stuff to a wireless router. I sometimes worry since the ISP I work at offers DSL in the FIOS area and Verizon FIOS directly competes with us. Then I read posts like this that say what the Verizon techs are telling customers and I realize I have nothing to worry about.
