Actiontec GT701D Ethernet DSL Modem with Routing Capabilities
Review by John McKown "Linux user" : Works well with my NetGear ProSafe internet router
It works well with my NetGear Prosafe FR114P router. This router is what I really use to access the Internet. I.e. it has my PPPoE user name and password. In order to configure the GT701D, I connected it directly to my laptop, running Linux (as do all my PCs, no Windows to be seen around here), with the supplied cable. [...]. I made two changes using the Advanced Setup options. One the most important was to set the WAN IP to enable the "RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging" option. This is what makes the Actiontec into a "dumb ADSL modem" so that the NetGear controls my PPPoE. The second was to change the LAN IP to one that fits into my local LAN addressing scheme. This latter is not really necessary.
It appears that this machine is based on BusyBox, a well known embedded Linux system used for many embedded projects. It works quite well with Linux and the CD is for configuration. At least it was in my case. Oh, my ISP is AT&T, the SWBELL domain, in N. Texas (near Dallas).
Actiontec GT701D Ethernet DSL Modem with Routing Capabilities
Review by NoviceUser : If I can do it ... you will have not problem!
My ISP is AT&T. I replaced their 2Wire equipments with AT&T twice in 3 years. I was very frustrated with all of 2Wire's unstability and constantly resetting. Finally, I decided to take a chance to replace them with an Actiontec DSL modem (GT701D)and a Linksys E4200 router. I had never set up a modem before in my whole life. I thought this would be a challenge for me to do it in my spare time at the weekend. I purchased my Linksys E4200 router online. Later I found I needed a modem to make it work. I set up my new modem and router with the following steps:
1.) Follow the "Quick Start Guide" from Actiontec to configure the modem according to your specific ISP provider.
HINT: You need to know your ISP's (AT&T) member ID and password. If you don't remember, you may call your ISP to find out.
2.) After configuration is complete, confirm that you are connected to the internet.
3.) Click "Advanced Setup" on the Main Menu.
4.) On the "DHCP Settings" page (the list on left side of your screen), turn off DHCP Server. Clink "Apply".
5.) On the "WAN IP Address" page, click "Yes" on the warning. Select RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging. Click "Apply".
Please note: The internet light on the modem will be off, and it will remain off in bridged mode.
6.) Remove the Ethernet cable from your computer, and plug it into the "Internet" port of your Router. (Now, your modem will be connected to your router)
7.) Turn on your router by following your rounter's set up instruction.
8.) Enter your ISP's member ID and password (same as above)in your router settings. Follow instructions in your router's to enable DHCP on your router.
9.) Now you are connected to the internet by using your new modem and router in "Bridged" mode.
Hope my instructions will be helpful to you!
Actiontec GT701D Ethernet DSL Modem with Routing Capabilities
Review by Mooch : Great Modem!-- but tricky to configure w/ AT&T
I bought the Actiontec GT701D to replace a dying Motorola 2210. Took me hours to get this modem running with AT&T DSL on a Mac. The roadblock was that AT&T kept redirecting me to a dead-end "Password Help" page whenever I entered the 192.168.0.1 address in a browser to configure the modem. I contacted AT&T and was told they do not support the Actiontec. I eventually found the trick: I popped in the AT&T DSL Installation CD which did allow me to configure this modem with my account info. I also had to change my Ethernet connection in System Preferences from PPoE to DHCP. There is likely an easier way to set this modem up, but whatever--the Actiontec is now working flawlessly. I've had a solid connection since I got it started about a week ago. Glad I bought this modem instead of another overheating Motorola.
