I agree on all accounts with the actiontec being better served as a
doorstop. What are you using to do the MoCA (coax-ethernet bridge)
stuff then? A NIM?

Yes, I have been using a linksys WRT54GL running openwrt for almost 3 years.
I have it hacked to use fwbuilder (fwbuilder.org) to configure iptables.
Works flawlessly most of the time. A couple times a year it gets confused
and needs a reboot. Right now it has been up for 127+ days.
Many people have problems with the Actiontec routers supplied by VZ. As far
as I can tell they are junk. I never ran mine long enough to tell. I took
one look at the GUI and figured any router that has advertisements in the GUI
is not something I want to waste time on. In addition, I have 29 static ip
addresses and the actiontec GUI is less than intuitive about how to configure
that many ip addresses. The manual was not much help either.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
