Actually, G/O/O does exist.

so does G/R/O... it depends on what you're doing, and what version of software the homeportal is running.

My 1701hg in bridging mode, is currently g/r/o, indicating that it is in bridging mode (the orange local network light) but red broadband light indicating that it's not plugged into a DSL line.

Connecting up the DSL line (and getting sync) causes the broadband light to go green. this is indicative of newer (post 3.3.x builds). older builds would go g/o/o for bridging mode (when in sync), but those older versions of software don't run on 1800HG equipment.
