Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.

The installer is due in a 1/4 hour. I will use your suggestions to work with him and Frontier ISP
If your going to use the R series router in AP mode, not much to have the ISP tech check for. Just ensure there services and hardward are to spec and in good working order.
