I have the GT704WG and I was on the internet one night, then all of a sudden the power light turned orange and the wireless light went out, but the DSL and Internet lights remained on. So after a while I turned it off, the next day when I turned it back on, the power light stays red, with No DSL light, The Internet light is Green, the Ethernet lights blink every 10 secs, but theres no Wireless Light.
Having the same problem.. Plugged in my old modem and no internet issues. The only difference is that my power light blinks from green to red. Tried to reset, held down wifi lights, everything! No luck...
Try to turn the Actiontec gateway off then after a minute, turn it back on. If the power light remains RED, press and hold the RESET button for about a minute again. If the Power light remains RED, the problem is that the Actiontec 704WG Gateway that you have is Defective already.
Check cable connections.
Try unplugging router from power for five minutes.
If that does not work call Internet Service provider to check if there is a problem with their server.

I cant do anything, I tried to reset the box, nothing works, I use the wireless, I dont use the wired. (Ethernet Cable)
I just had the same Problem - the RED Power light stays on. This happened at midnight on 4/12/09. My ISP told me the Actiontec GT704WG died and is out of warranty. They said I would have to buy a new one - from Verizon since "if you buy another manufacturer's modem/router, our Tech Support can not guarantee support since we didn't provide it." Good Luck....
Interesting.....my Actiontec GT704WG did the exact same thing on 4/11/09 at about 4pm. Wonder how many more out there mysteriously quit working?
exact same problem... extremely interesting
TENGO EL MISMO PROBLEMA HACE UN MES REGRESO A CASA Y ENCONTRE EL ROUTER CON LA LUZ DE POWER EN ROJO Y LA LUZ DE LA INTERNET VERDE TRATE DE RESETEAR EL RAUTER Y NADA FUNCIO
I have the same problem. The power light is RED and won't change to green. On the phone for over an hour with Verizon. They came up with the conclusion that the modem is bad and I need to buy a new one for $65.00 from them. No warranty past 3 months. Nothing else they would do, but give me credit for the days I am without internet and they said it could be days and days.
Bad PR, slow anyway, I am now in the process of going to Charter 10 meg.
Same problem, although I think mine went out on 4/13/2009.
Power Light Is Red, Internet Light Is Green, Ethernet lights flash at interval. Same problem here, modem died mysteriously Thursday approx. 1pm EST.
Actiontec GT704WG Power Light stays red other's blink green. Verizon wants to sell me another one with a monthly fee for insurance. Same problem as the other Actiontec router/modem's.
Have you tried using the dial-up portion of your DSL service?
Have you tried to reset it to factory defaults?
