I use the same router (also a FIOS customer). I have remote administration of the router turned on, and set for the normal port 443. I use a totally different port for https to the ReadyNAS (actually 3 different ports, one for each of my Readynas systems). All are forwarded in the actiontec to the appropriate NAS, and each NAS has its port configured as the "second port" on the https configuration screen in frontview. I travel internationally fairly regularly, and have always been able to run frontview remotely.

If you have the remote management on the actiontec configured for port 80 and port 443, then you are giving the router conflicting instructions - telling it to forward ports 80 and 443 to the NAS, and at the same time telling it to allow remote management of the router itself on the same ports. I am not sure what it will do in that case.
I suggest you configure the NAS to use a completely different second port for https, and forward that in the actiontec (matching my approach, which I know works).
