Hi all,

I have Verizon FIOS and I want to convert my router to act as a bridge and make my main Internet connection be a better firewall. I have googled this and found a couple articles that look right, but I just want to basically make sure I have it right so I do not cut myself off.

Other things to take into account:

  • I have business FIOS with 5 external IP addresses
  • My current firewall is a Cisco PIX that currently NATs everything through the Actiontec, which NATs everything again. I want to get away from this
Any suggestions?
