Depends on your scenario.

If you are Ethernet at the ONT and have no TV service, then just disconnect the actiontec altogether. It's not needed. Plug your sonicwall direct to the etherent and enjoy.

If you have TV service then you need the actiontec so that the Set top boxes will get IP's and thus be able to perform the menu/guide system and VOD and Widgets. Use these instructions.

Configure MI424WR as a LAN MoCA Bridge

The coax is going into the Actiontec and that has the Ethernet output , and I have no TV but they nave a sonic wall that is already configured with the station IP so I just need the Actiontec to run as a bridge or pass through to the sonic wall

well you can definetely follow the instructions posted, but you may want to make the situation a lot easier, and just install an ethernet run to from the ONT to the actiontec, and call Verizon to ask then to turn on the ethernet. Remove unneccessary points of failure. BUT you can use it as is with the coax, just follow the above instructions.

in your instructions if I have a static IP address from Fios already configured into the sonicwall what IP address do I set the Actiontec to?

The sonic wall is set to accept the static IP and give out to my computers IP addresses from 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1,254

so what number should I configure the Actiontec to?
