The new Fios Gateway Router is now available in most areas.
If you are wanting it and want to see if you can get it you can call and ask, but the easiest way it to login into your account online, go to add/change services then add/upgrade services then to Wireless Routers.
The Gateway will be listed there if it is available to you.
You can choose to buy it for $149.99 or rent it for $6.99 a month. A one time shipping fee will apply.
If needed you can view the manual and features here.

of course as said in my original post you can find it in your account in wireless routers.

It doesn;t have a power on/off switch.
Not a real big deal, but I've always thought an on/off switch was a nice feature to have.

I'll be looking forward to some more user feedback as to any advantages of the new Gateway router compared to the Rev I Actiontec.
I know about 802.11ac support, but I already have that with an added WAP. Thus I'm wondering what, if anything, might make it worth $150, plus the time and trouble it would take, to fix something that isn't broken.

Good:
Dual Band
802.11ac
Not So Good:
No guest WiFi network
I doubt I'll bother with this device.

Is it possible to get it for free? Good thing I didn't order it. 😛 I almost did, but didn't.

No, but you can rent it.
Would it be worth it to rent or I should just stick with the current Actiontech Gen 3 I have now?

Depends. Would having dual band benefit you? If you live in an area with a lot of network congestion then it probably will help.
Are you happy with the wifi range on the Actiontec?
Are you getting the speeds you pay for?
Are you on a fast speed tier?
I myself ordered it because I have a lot of network congestion where I live so the ac 5 ghz alone is worth it to me.
