what does this mean? "Others were using my particular Wifi network on the FIOS router as well." Anybody else using your wifi is going to limit your overall bandwidth. You have setup security on your wifi network, right? Do the FIOS routers automatically export public wifi networks in addition to your own?

Also, I have a similar configuration at home, with cable. A cable modem (my own) connected to a separate router which creates my home network and wifi. In this case you want to turn off the router part of your device, otherwise you have 2 devices trying to be a router for your home network, which leads to other problems. So not sure what you mean by the part about not setting the verizon router to bridge mode. Surely there's setup support from VZW for your proposed configuration? That video is talking about something else where you use two routers to create a bridge between them.
