I've been trying to find the best option to provide an unhindered WAN address to a LinkSys router. I tried purchasing an Actiontec router off ebay and making it a bridge, but after calling Verizon support, it seems the router can't be connected to Verizon's network for some reason or another. The next step is to wire the house with cat6/powerline switches and have Verizon turn on ethernet at the ONT. But that seems to present roadblocks too. Ethernet still needs to flow through the Verizon router's WAN port.
Here's my question: If I put a switch between the ONT and Verizon's router, and put my Verizon router and my LinkSys router both on the ONT at the same time, will I be able to get two WAN addresses from Verizon?
Thank you for any information you can provide,
Steven
