[BC] TELUS Optik TV/Internet via Fibre (GPON)

I live in a building where TELUS has Fibre-to-the-Suite, therefore (forgive my ignorance) I have the Alcatel Lucent box in my Utility Box, along with the battery backup and the Actiontec router. It looks to me that the Alcatel Lucent box is proving an ethernet connection out of port one to the Actiontec router. The Optik TV STB's are then connected to port 1/2 of the Actiontec modem/router. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Actiontec merely acting as a router because of the Alcatel Lucent box providing the connection to TELUS' network? If so, am I able to connect the 2 STB's to the Lucent equipment either directly or through a gigabit switch and then use my ASUS RT-N56U router as my soon to be Optik 50 internet router via one of the other free ports on the Alcatel Lucent equipment? Thanks!
