Actiontec and linksys

I recently upgraded to Verizon Fios internet and TV. There service requires the use of an Actiontec M1424-WR which they provided me with.
I would like to use my old router, a Linksys WRT300N, as an access point connected to the Actiontec.
Is this possible?
From the little that i have been able to learn about networking, i believe that i need to connect the two through a LAN port, and change some of the settings on the linksys, but im not sure exactly which settings to change or how to change them.
Can anyone help me do this?
Thanks,
Mark
