Red power light on our 3-year-old Actiontec router
The power light on our 3-year-old Actiontec GT704WG router/gateway suddenly turned solid red rather than green a few days ago. Verizon, our DSL ISP, simply said that it "went bad" and of course tried to sell us a replacement. We have temporarily borrowed something from a friend to use until we can decide what we want to buy. But I hate to spend $100 right now if there is any chance that ours is salvageable. I have seen other people with similar problems post them online, but have yet to see a clear resoluton. Can anyone help?

If the power light is red, it means that the router is already defective.
You can still try to reset the router by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds then power cycle it.
If the power light is still red then you will really need to replace your router.
