ActionTec DSL Gateway GT704

The new Actiontec DSL Gateway is really two devices rolled into one. It's a full-rate ADSL modem that's upgradeable to the new, faster ADSL 2/2+protocol. It's also a router, capable of networking up to four computers, via embedded ethernet ports, with a minimum amount of hassle. Get rid of the clutter of components on your desk and replace them with the Actiontec DSL Gateway.

The Gateway's modem engine is ready for the future. It can be upgraded to ADSL2, the new DSL standard that enhances modem performance by tripling the available bandwidth (from 8 Mbps to 24 Mbps). Say goodbye to stuttering, pixilated video streams and the endless wait while downloading large files. There's more room for voice data, as well, so you can experience free or low-cost Internet telephone conversations. And since the upgrade to ADSL2 can be done remotely, you won't need a Ph.D to get yourself up to speed.

To help with setting up the Gateway, Actiontec has developed its groundbreaking Installation Buddy. A step-by-step visual setup guide, the Installation Buddy provides simple, straightforward instructions for procedures that were once the province of IT professionals. Now, you can eliminate most of the confusion inherent with networking computers. Continuing in this user-friendly mode, the Gateway features color-coded ports and cables, making connection a snap.

The Gateway includes most common networking features (remote management, DHCP server option, and port forwarding), and some not so common: MAC address cloning, unnumbered mode support, bit swapping, and much more. In addition, with NAT Firewall, you can feel secure that your communications are protected. So instead of scouring your local electronics store looking for a DSL modem and a router, get both in one package. Let the Actiontec DSL Gateway speed up and simplify your life.
