Can I replace the FiOS D-Link Wireless Router with an AEBS?

I have FiOS and the Verizon supplied D-Link Wireless a/g router that came with the service. I’ve been happy as a clam with the service but I just bought my first Mac (a 15″ MBP) and an AEBS. Ideally it would be nice to replace the D-Link with the AEBS. I tried to do this and everything worked except for FiOS Video On Demand (VOD). It complained about some router issue. So my current setup includes using both the D-Link and the AEBS whereby I have wireless turned off on the D-Link and my AEBS bridged to the D-Link. This seems to be working fine in that wirless to the AEBS is working and my FiOS TV functions are working as expected. Again, ideally, I’d like to just have AEBS in the mix and take out the D-Link router. Can this be done? It seems the Verizon supplied NIM box likes to only be plugged into the D-Link and not the AEBS. BTW, I haven’t found any definitive posts about how to do this. I’ve seen posts on the bridging aspect and when an ActionTec router is in the mix but not a D-Li
