Default New FiOS installation

I finally moved to a place where I can get FIOS internet. I wont miss DSL. Now, as long as I have had said DSL I have tried and tried and I can't seem to get port forwarding right. I think the problem was in the DSL modem. From what I could tell the last time I spent some good time working on it, I needed the DSL modem to be in "bridge" mode instead of router mode.

Anyway, long story short, I will have a Verizon Tech at my house for a few hours next week and I want to make sure I can get the port forwarding to work right this time. I have 2 routers with 3rd party firmware (one tomato, one dd-wrt) and of course they provide one verizon wireless router. The option I was thinking about was to get him to put the verizon router into bridge mode and use one of my routers to do the wireless. I don't really know if that is even an option though because I am quite a novice with this stuff.

Also, is that wireless router any good, or would I be better off using the linksys anyway?

Thanks!
