I have the Actiontec GT704WG model and I

I have the Actiontec GT704WG model and I constantly have to turn the power off and back on or reboot my computer after being away from computer for more than half an hour. I had a tech friend look at the system and he found the firmware in the Actiontec to be out of date. He tried to flash the unit but never was able to connect to it's address. Verizon says I have to pay for a new unit that this is out of warranty. They also said I might have a virus in my computer that is blocking access to the router modem. can someone please help me or should I search for another DSL provider?

SOURCE: NO PSN with Actiontec GT704WG Verizon

If you can access the internet it is not a problem with the router. Are you able to access the PSN site but rejected when you enter your credentials?

When power switch is turned on the Power light is rapidly flashing & the 4 Ethernet lights are flashing. The box is Actiontec GT704wg

I do not have a solution to the problem. However, I am having the same problem. This morning the Actiontec GT704WG power and ethernet lights were rapidly flashing. The modem was non-functional. I could not even connect to the modem through the browser to see if I could find a problem.

The problem lasted a couple of hours. Then all of a sudden the modem started working again. I won't be able to tell if the problem recurs until I restart the modem. And if the problem does occur again, I won't be able to connect to the internet.

I have had this same problem with Qwest using a new iMac and MacBook on the Actiontec modem. Qwest did two things: first we reset the modem which was fairly simple and took only about 5 minutes. However, this fix lasts only a few weeks and it comes back. I have just ordered a new modem since there seems to be a problem with the Actiontec device with the newer high speed internet.
I'd try the reset before doing anything else. Good luck.

No wireless connection after powercycle

Sounds to me as if the Actiontec GT704WG has died. If it is still under warranty, get it serviced. If it is not under warranty, You can try to find en electronic friend to take a look at it. If you do not have such a friend, Maybe someone else here can help you. But you might want to consider a new unit.
