Using a second firewall/router with a Verizon Fios M1424WR

I have my home network attached to the internet via a Verizon M1424WR Fios router (with WIFI).

I have an Linux engineering workstation with its own Cisco Meraki firewall/router, and I'm trying to get a VPN through to the workstation.

One question is: the Meraki router has its own DHCP server. I have the option of shutting this off and relaying DHCP requests, but it wants the IP address of the DHCP server. What would this be? The IP of the Fios router, which is what I get on the router's management login page, doesn't seem to work.

MI424WR is an end of support router, which is a security vulnerability.

Cisco Meraki is costing a lot which I don't have the money for. A Linux computer is 10 times more capable than a Meraki. DHCP Relay Agent is necessary when forwarding DHCP messages across layer 3 boundaries, which I don't know whether it is your case.

Unless you've gone out of your way to reconfigure it, the DHCP server of the M1424WR is the same as its gateway address: 192.168.1.1.

As @Cang_Household said, I'm really surprised you still have an M1424WR. My daughter had one of those, and Verizon sent her a G3100 and a replacement set-top box (I don't remember the number) free of charge. They gave her a date by which she was expected to have switched them out. They didn't even want the router back, but they did send her a box to return the old STB. They didn't say if they would cut her service if she hadn't switched by that date. It might have been a "We would really like it if you switched the equipment by mm/dd/yyyy."

Just got a new Verizon router: a V9HPX6

I am not familiar with the V9HPX6. Is that a new Verizon router or something else entirely?
