Entanglement (more correctly, wave-function collapse) cannot be used to transmit information. So there is a "spooky action at a distance", but there is no faster than light communication.
I find it's easier to understand if you assume that every entangled particle already "knows" what state it will be at the moment of entanglement. In theory it's called "hidden variables". John Stewart Bell has proven that there's no local hidden variables, but noone said about global variables. For example, in Superdeterminism it's all easy and clear.
PS: Physicists thet reject Superdeterminism only for philosophical reasons, there's no scientific reasons to reject it.
