No.  The x50 is provided by the ISP, and the x50 gets the feed  
from the nokia ONT via an eth connection.

So.. I'm not sure what you described would be applicable. I  
thought I could still connect the sr516ac to the x50 LAN-LAN,  
and disable the sr516ac DHCP after assigning it low a low IP  
address that the x50 could expect within it's subnetmask.  But  
then I wasn't getting any internet through the sr516ac when I  
connected a laptop to test it with a wired or wireless  
connection to the sr516ac.

If it *did* work, then the plan was to select "wireless bridge"  
at the remote sr360n since it was able to "see" the sr516ac in  
the other room.

I ended up settling with a wired connection. After a total of 4  
hours and 4 patch cords later (and an added $35 cost for one of  
the 25ft patch cords), I have my existing network tied to the  
fibre feed, full speed. 80% of the wiring run isn't pretty, but  
most of that is in the back room B.
