Fios+Moch+Multiple Airport Extreme/Express Units

I currently have the following setup:


- Verizon Fios Router (actiontec). Wifi is on but rarely use the SSID.

- Airport Extreme connected via ethernet to Fios Router which broadcasts to other aiprort expresses in my apt. Setup to "create wireless network"

- The airport express units "extend" the network and is in bridge mode. Printer is connected to one of the airport express units.


While this works, the wifi connections in other rooms is very weak as I live in an old building. Download speeds of 2-3mbps vs 40-50 when I am near my main airport extrme. The express units help a little but the speed suffers.


So I bought 2 MOCA adapters to help. If I attach the airport express units to these adapters the speed is excellent, except it uses the SSID from the Fios Router which makes it difficult to print and use other features of the apple routers.


My understanding is that if I disable the router on the verizon actiontec I lose functionality of the tv guide, on demand etc.


Any recommended solutions?

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), Airport Extreme, Airport Express, iPhone
