The Update dialog goes very well. The last step instructs the user to disconnect the Black Power Cable from the back of the modem, then reconnect it. I left the computer on this screen for 10 minutes after disconnecting/reconnecting the power cable. The modem lights are: Power=Green, DSL=Green, Ehternet Port 1=Green. All other lights are Off. All attempts of power cycling and holding the Reset button for 1+ minute have no effect. The IP address 192.168.0.1 cannot be reached.

I called TDS support Saturday night and worked with Tim. He concluded the modem is bad now. A new one is being sent at the cost of shipping $14.95. I believe that TDS should absorb the shipping cost because the TDS Update Software caused the problem. Also, the firmware TDS_GT_Upgrade_1.0.1.8.zip should be removed from the TDS web site and repaired.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Actiontec-GT704WG-firmware-update-beware-22881560 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:19:41 EDT
