Modem for the AC68U? Verizon Fios

[Frankie_Xenon]

Hi, I recently purchased the Asus RT-AC68U to replace my old Verizon Fios Actiontec M1424. I turned my Actiontec into a modem bridge but unfortunately there is bottleneck and a few issues. Whenever I'm downloading games on my PC, which uses Ethernet. All the WiFi clients are slowed down by a significant amount. The Actiontec transfers internet through Lan port 4 instead of Wan because I can not get Wan to work. So it would be like Actiontec Lan port 4 to the AC68U Wan port. I'm not exactly sure what modem to get that is compatible with Verizon Fios. A good replacement for the M1424. I heard that I would need to buy a MoCa bridge in order for Verizon internet to work. But would something like TP Link TD W8960N work as well? What would be a better option?

Thank you very much

What feature(s) of the Asus are important? The WIFI? Or some ofher features? If just the WIFI, use the ASUS as a WIFI access point with the Actiontec as a normal router. Disable WIFI on the Actiontec. That is how my personal network is configured.

Hi, I would like to use AiProtection and any feature that Asus provides. At the moment my ActionTec WiFi is disabled so no one can connect to it. The only WiFi available is from the Asus router. Also I use 2 ethernet cables for Xbox and my PC. So that is important.
