    Can the antenna on the Actiontec Wireless device be upgraded?

    Does the Actiontec 54Mbps Wireless Ethernet adapter (802EAG) support the newer wireless security system, WPA?




    Does Actiontec sell a Wireless Range Expander or Wireless Repeater, to extend a wireless networks coverage?
    No, Actiontec does not sell a Wireless Repeater. The Wireless Routers, Access Points and Gateways that we currently produce, do not support WDS or Wireless Distribution System. (WDS is a technology that allows the linking of several Wireless Access Points, to create one large Wireless network.)

    Can the antenna on the Actiontec Wireless device be upgraded?
    Yes, this device has an antenna that can be removed and replaced or upgraded. The connection method for this device, Reverse Polarity Sub-Miniture Adapter (RP-SMA), is readily available at most computer or electronics stores.

    How is a replacement Actiontec CD obtained?
    There are two methods for obtaining a replacement Actiontec CD.
    1. Downloading the ISO for free from the Actiontec Support Site. If an ISO is available, it will be posted along with all other Drivers and Software, on the support page for that product. Instructions for converting the ISO file into a CD can be downloaded along with the ISO.
    2. Contacting Actiontec Technical Support by phone and purchasing one. Actiontec CDs can be purchased for $6.95 (including S&H) within the USA, and $8.95 (including S&H) for customers in Europe and the UK.
    To purchase call: 1-800-371-0442 (USA), 0800-180-4434 (UK)
    Please have your Visa or MasterCard ready, along with product name and model number, or CD part number if available. (MasterCard and Visa are the only cards Actiontec is able to accept.)

    Is there a way to clear or Reset the Admin username and password on the Actiontec Wireless Ethernet and Game Adapter?
    Yes, but clearing the password also resets the configuration of the device. So following a reset, the adapter will need to be completely reconfigured.
    To Reset the adapter, begin with the unit powered up. Then using a small tool, depress and hold the Reset button on the back of the device for 10 seconds, and then release it. When the adapter has finished restarting the username and password will be back to the default setting of 'admin' and 'admin'.

    How do I Reset the Actiontec to its default settings?
    Begin with the power light solid Green. Then using a small tool, press and hold the Reset button in for 10 seconds, then release the button. It will take 30 to 40 seconds for the Actiontec to restart.
    (Be aware that ALL configuration settings stored in the Actiontec will be lost when resetting the unit, and that it will need to be reconfigured, once it has restarted.)

    Does the Actiontec 54Mbps Wireless Ethernet adapter (802EAG) support the newer wireless security system, WPA?
    No, the Actiontec 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless Ethernet adapter (802EAG) does not support WPA. This adapter supports 64 bit and 128 bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).

    Currently there are no firmware updates for this product.
