I know, the data sheet on their web site indicates GigE LAN ports, so I bought a Rev2 on Ebay, (I needed a second one anyway), but alas, no GigE! :mad: I think 802.11n is fiction as well.
And you would be right about the 802.11n, at least as far as the VZ version of the router is concerned.

Had you done a search here, you would have found the following post:

The online datasheet from Rev e suggests that the router is futureproof for gigabit lan and wireless n. What does that mean? Can it be enabled with firmware or something?

What that means is that it available from the manufacturer as an extra cost option. There are a number of available options that VZ did not select:
•Wireless N
•Gig-E LAN ports
•USB port
•White sidewalls :D

At the time I did not install it because I could not find a change log and everything was working fine for me. I have not seen anyone indicating major changes with he new firmware and as you found the link has been pulled from the Actiontec site and the Verizon site does not have anything for the Rev E.

I checked and could not find a copy of it in my download folder.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-firmware-out-for-Actiontec-MI424WR-Rev-E-Gen-2-22652755 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 02:39:15 EDT Re: New firmware out for Actiontec MI424WR (Rev E, Gen 2)! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-firmware-out-for-Actiontec-MI424WR-Rev-E-Gen-2-22651189
