You sure something is not blocking the wireless signal. Maybe your FiOS router is in a different place than your old router was.

As long as the FIOS router allows you to turn off wireless, then just give the Linksys router a static IP address in the same network as the FIOS, disable its DHCP server, and patch it to a LAN port...

You mean to disable DHCP server on FiOS, correct? Should I enable DHCP on Linksys router?
