Actiontec makes DSL and fiber gateways for Internet providers. You'll find them at Verizon (MI424WR), CenturyLink (C1000A, C2000A, C3000A, PK5001A), Frontier, Windstream, Telus (T2200H, T3200M) and Bell Aliant FibreOP (R1000H, R3000). Most carry the ISP's name on the front, so check the label underneath for "Actiontec". These guides cover how to log in and reset the gateway.
