      • Light is green: The connection between the Actiontec gateway and Verizon Online is established. Go to Step 4.
      • Light is off: The link between the gateway and Verizon Online is not connected.


    3. If the Actiontec gateway is connected to your computer using an Ethernet cable, are any Ethernet lights illuminated (E1, E2, E3, or E4)?
    4. If the Actiontec GT704WG gateway is connected to your computer using a USB cable, is the USB light illuminated?

    5. Reboot your computer by turning it off, waiting for 45 seconds, and then turning it back on. Re-check your router lights.


    6. Disconnect all networked computers and restart the computer connected to the router. Reconnect the other computers one-by-one to isolate the problem.
