(More customer reviews)Recently I bought this Verizon DSL Gateway, which is really an Actiontech GT704WG that's made specifically for Verizon DSL users. My service was working intermittantly with my six year old Westell so at first I bought a Netgear Wireless N router/modem, but neither I, nor Netgear, nor Verizon could get it to work. I returned the Netgear and bought this one, plugged it in, connected the cables, turned it on and in 30-45 seconds I was up and running. No calls to support, no fiddling around with it, it just worked. Also it stopped the intermittant disconnects that I was getting with the Westell. (I have some static in my phone line but this does not seem to affect this gateway as it did my Westell.)
I'm running two (wired) PCs and one (wireless) laptop on it. I did have to type in a new WEP address when I fired up my laptop, but the process was very easy. When the laptop booted up, it said that it found a new network and needs the WEP address, then it opened a window for me to type in the address. There was a card that came with the modem that said this would happen and told me the address was on the bottom of the modem. I typed in the numbers and was online with my laptop in seconds. This is useful cause no one can use your wireless service unless they know the WEP address, so it's a good thing.
It does look a little cheap and who knows how long it will last, but for three days now I've been enjoying fast - trouble free internet service. The box says it will ONLY work with Verizon DSL service though.
