Actiontec Electronics introduced its new 54 Mbps Wireless DSL Modem to the mass merchant retail channel, providing residential DSL customers with enhanced versatility and connectivity options for their home network. Three products in one, the new 54 Mbps Wireless Modem (GT724WGR) eliminates device clutter in the home network by combining a full-rate ADSL/ADSL2+ modem, 4 port Ethernet switch, and 802.11g wireless router into a sleek, easy-to-use device. Additionally, Actiontec’s new GT724R modem offers a full-rate ADSL/ADSL2+ modem and a 4 port switch for those customers not needing integrated wireless capabilities.

The new modems offer a great upgrade path for a wide variety of home networking needs – whether consumers are looking to add WLAN to their home, upgrade their old 802.11b router, or just want to get rid of the clutter of separate boxes on their desk.

Now it’s a snap to check the status of the network or the broadband connection’s IP address. Home users no longer need to dig through their paperwork or call technical support to find their correct settings, and configuring DSL service is as easy as plugging in the modem. And an intuitive Graphical User Interface lets subscribers check network status or view customized service provider messages in seconds.
