Yesterday I helped a client eliminate the redundant router Verizon installed with their FiOS.
Unlike cable modems or dsl, its not enough to reset the modem to get it to talk to another router. You must log in to the Verizon router and tell it to release the IP address and then your own router will work fine.
Its not terribly difficult but it did throw me for a loop until i used the google.
