Thanks for the clarification. I talked with a Verizon Tech earlier, who walked me through setting the Fios router as a passthrough only, to my Netgear router, so it (Netgear) would have a static ip and would assign ip addresses to my devices. I'm happy with this solution. This should take care of the double NAT problem.
Could you explain what the tech had you do?
