The Actiontec [wiki:SeattleWireless:ActiontecGT701 GT701-WG] is a TI AR7-based device. Thus target.ar7 is compatible with these devices. This model was at one time distributed by Qwest as their current modem of choice.

The physical order of these partitions is:

1. mtd2
2. mtd1
3. mtd0
4. mtd4
5. mtd3

List of commands to be issued before flashing using the FTP method as directed in InstallingAR7

1. create mtd5 spanning mtd1-mtd0 (`quote SETENV mtd5,0x90010000,0x903e0000`).

2. set the `MAC_PORT` variable to `0` (`quote SETENV MAC_PORT,0`). 3. flash to mtd5 instead of mtd4

First obtain and extract http://www.qwest.com/internethelp/modems/gt701/docs/gt701_wg_qw04_3_60_2_0_6_3_recovery.zip. The files you need are in the "gt701-wg qw04-3.60.2.0.6.3_recovery/image" directory.

During the ADAM2 access window (approx 2-7 seconds after power up) connect to 192.168.0.1 with a console-based FTP client. The following assumes you're in the previously specified directory. Both the username and password are "adam2".
