Price : Too low to display
With its new Wireless DSL Gateway, Verizonmoves way ahead of the competition. A completely integrated networking solution in one box(DSL modem, wireless networking, full routingcapability), the Wireless Gateway solves all of your customerâ?TMs connection and networking needs in one tidy little package.
The Wireless Gateway also anticipates the technology trends of tomorrow. With its easily upgradeable firmware feature, the Gateway is ready to run with new features and standards such as G+, TR-069, and QoS. All of these upgrades can be done quickly and simply from the comfort of your own home. Stepping into the future has rarely been this easy!
The Gateway also functions as an Internet firewall, providing the home network with robust protection from outside threats, like hackers or other individuals looking to snoop in personal files. Three different levels of protection allow your customer to customize the level of security. Wireless transmissions are also protected, since the Gateway utilizes 64-, 128-, or 256-bit encryption or WPA for ironclad protection.

So far very good. . 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.

Good Buy . This gateway works fine in it's designed application. Will not work with a Verizon USB modem.

Cons Review
The product is good but you may not be able to use it. . The modem has been up and running well now for a couple of months, which is the good news. But when we first got it, we couldn't get it to work, because the on-line set up wouldn't run. That turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg. To be honest, I use Verizon only because it's the only service in our town. In fact, some of the V techies I've talked to have called it a bad system. Here's the whole story: It took about a month to start service after ordering because they sent us the wrong modem. When we received the correct modem, things were ok until we returned the original modem. At that point the service was inexplicably interrupted. Working through the automated phone system to find out why, the final message I received was "We are unable to help you with this matter. Either choose the main menu, or hang up." With much persistence I finally contacted a techie who said that we had asked to cancel the service. I told him no, we did not, so could he please reinstate it? He replied that it would take another 5 working days to complete the cancellation process, then we could request a new setup from the sales department. We spent hours on the phone trying to track down someone knowledgeable. In the end, someone finally said that returning the original modem evidently "triggered" the cancellation process, and once begun, nothing could be done to stop it. In addition, it would take another 2-3 weeks following the cancellation before we could request new service. I pointed out that this was all due to a Verizon mistake, but it made no difference. The best they could do was to provide us free dial-up service in the meantime. So after a month of dialup, we finally had DSL reinstated; however, we could not get an internet connection. A couple of techs tried to help, but no luck. Then they sent us another modem, still no luck. Eventually it was discovered that the problem was with the Verizon system itself, and it was repaired. However, we soon got a nasty letter reminding us that if we did not return the extra modem soon, they would charge us for it. We returned it within the required period, but were billed for it anyway ($90). We are still trying to resolve that issue, which is tough, because the Verizon department in charge doesn't answer the phone after business hours or on weekends, and you have to be prepared to camp out on the phone. To be fair, my sister lives down the road from us and they have never had a problem with Verizon DSL (their system worked fine from the beginning). On the other hand, their Verizon phone service went out a couple of weeks ago, and V techs have failed to show twice for appointments to fix it. So the bottom line is, don't buy Verizon unless you can fix it yourself.
