Was ok, but..........2007-12-17
Well, this was my first experience with an MP3 player, I figured I'd try them before I go for the IPOD. Maybe I should have gone all out from the beginning.
I initially liked it's features. The fm tuner was nice, for when I wanted to listen to my favorite show. I also liked the stopwatch. The sound is pretty good, too.
Then, things started to break. First, the battery clip broke off, but I coould still force it closed. Then one day I turned it on and all of my songs had been erased, I had to reload them, I was very annoyed.
Lastly, I turned it on last week and it now reads "boot error" I have tried everything but nothing seems to work. I have this thing for less than three months, so this is a little frustrating.
Hope this helps,
EW
Poor Design - Poor Battery Life - I returned it.......2007-07-08
Briefly put:
1- The toggle switch was easily bumped, thus suddenly switching songs, etc... such as when carrying in pocket, or when running with it in the sport band. (I did not discover a way to lock these features when using)
2- The battery life (it takes 1 AA battery and is not rechargeable) lasts about 2 hours before needing replacement.
3- It does not remember where you were in a song, podcast, or playlist, so if you turn it off and come back, one searches to find where one was at.
4- The forward search is very slow.
5- The fm radio only pulls in the strongest stations in the area.
After 28 days I returned it, just in time (30 days window to the store I bought it from).

Poor Product.......2007-12-05
I've gotten two units from Verizon. The first would not get more than 356k download when I was suppose to get 3800k. The second one I got worked for two weeks then went back to the same problem. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Especially if you have to pay $100 for it.
Simple ADSL Modem with switch and Wirless Access Point.......2007-09-25
I had no issues with this product. Read the short instructions and use the Setup Buddy. I was connected and running with 2 wired computers and 2 wireless within 30 mniutes. I received another manufacture's modem / access point (no switch). It took hours to set up 3 years ago.
This was simple. A dog with a note in it's mouth could set this up in minutes. I have been running for a month. Their are no dropped packets or disconnects. It is solid and far less hot than the prior equipment.
Poor Range.......2007-09-13
I don't own this router, but my father-in-law has one. The range is terrible. Only 2 rooms away the reception is poor. Stick with Linksys products. I just bought the Linksys WRT54GS and installed it on the top floor of the house, and I get great reception, even in the basement 2 levels below.

Modemus Mediocrus.......2007-09-13
I have three of these. I am using them in what is (for a home network) a fairly complex configuration. They are based on Linux (Busybox). I have two complaints with them. (1) They haven't been as robust as I would like. (2) There is no way to change the MTU from the web interface. You can change it by ssh-ing into them and manually changing the setting, but there is no way to save it, so the next power cycle means having to set it again.
I have also been through Hawking, Westell, and Zoom products without finding one I am happy with - although the Hawking and the Actiontec have seen the most time in service on my network.
At this point I am searching for something better due to repeated lock-ups, which is how I happened up on this listing. Surely someone makes a "bulletproof" dsl modem?
Best DSL/router I've ever Owned.......2007-04-16
This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to write a review of a product on Amazon. I have had the Actiontec gt704-wg for over a year now operating on a Bellsouth connection (originally 1.5 meg, now 3meg).
In that time I have only had to reboot it once, following a BellSouth service outage about 6 month ago. It has happily weathered numerous power outages with no action needed and being dropped once by a visiting relative and it just keeps on ticking.
We regularly run two or three computer through the Wireless connection on 802.11g and have a VOIP phone that is connected directly to it. I have a 1/2 acre property and get close to full signal anywhere on it, inside the house, outside the house and in a few of the neighbors houses. If I'm working on my laptop while being driven home it connects while I'm heading down the street 100-150 feet away.
I recently hooked up a webcam to my Laptop and took my family (back in the UK) on a live walking tour of my house (inside and out) in full video conference mode.
If you're looking for a single box solution to get a DSL modem, wired and wireless router this is the best choice I have found out there.
