Should have thought of this sooner when setting up the FiOS router (192.168.1.1) in bridge mode and the Nighthawk (192.168.1.4) as the primary router...All my devices have a static IP so they are all hard-coded to use my original router's IP for the gateway/router IP (192.168.1.1).

I can telnet to it from my box internally, but doesn't work when trying to do the same from a remote host. Logs show the port it's connecting to and the internal server but nothing actually happens.
FWIW, I'm using a FiOS G1100 Modem+Router in bridge mode, passing the traffic to the R7900P.
