In order to use third-party routers with your Actiontec GT704WG gateway, you must first change your Actiontec gateway to Bridge mode.

To change your Actiontec gateway to Bridge mode:

1. Enter http://192.168.1.1 in your browser’s address bar. 





2. When prompted, enter your Actiontec router user name and password. [Show Me]

7. Scroll to the bottom of the window and click Apply
