I doubt it would slow down the entire internet.

The FIOS connection has a limited bandwidth. Connecting the two routers together will not in itself decrease your maximum bandwidth, but understand that your bandwidth will be shared by all the devices connected to the router(s).

thanks alot miles, bandwidth is no problem for me, my connection to the internet is encrypted on my computers using a vp network, would AP allow 2 or more computers with different ips connected @ the same time
?thanks alot

Yes. That is the intended functionality of a product like Airport Extreme.

The only MINOR concern is that you have a double NAT situation now. The FiOS router is performing NAT and now the AP Extreme is performing NAT, as well. You'll see error messages on your Console and such. But, for MANY (not all) peoples' setups/usage, this won't present a problem.

Why not just leave the FIOS wifi on, setup AEBS in bridge mode with a different wifi name. Then, no NAT problem, right?
