I am on FiOS with Frontier and I don't use an Actiontec -- The box that
does the media conversion from optic to copper (usually outside your house)
can be configured to put the Internet on Ethernet, and configured as a
bridge, then you install your router on the other end of the Ethernet. I
use MikroTik. I actually also have Comcast/Xfinity, and do a similar
configuration with a Motorola modem and bring both Ethernets to the router,
for IPv4 I run most traffic through FiOS but have auto failover to
Comcast. All IPv6 is routed to Comcast.
I actually have a VPN with routed addresses that supports the net-44 stuff

I'm on FiOS (was Verizon now Frontier Comm.) and I'm considering
buying a Pi for
ampr.org connection. I'm pretty much stuck with the
Verizon Actiontec MI424WR on the WAN due to ISP requirements and I'm
wondering how it might be best to place the Pi on the LAN. Should it
be in the DMZ or should it stay behind NAT?
Feel free to email me off list if this is OT.
