Well since I've not had xDSL for quite some time the only thing I can tell you is that the USB models *all* seem to have issues. Stick with the ethernet models for sure wink

I do however use an ethernet Linksys gateway/router and it works great with the supplied RCA(Thompson) Cable Modem.

Looks like you're going the all-in-one route which is nice in that you will have only one box to administer.

I use the wireless variant of the Netgear DG834.

It's always been rock solid with my ADSL line (it has never dropped the connection once). It's modem is currently capable of up to 8 Mbps downstream and with a forthcoming firmware upgrade will be able to support ADSL 2+ for speeds of up to 24 Mbps.

It's got a very good stateful packet inspection firewall, supports UPnP and advanced VPN pass-through, all wrapped up behind a very slick interface.

All in all, I'm very pleased with it.

Or perhaps a cisco 800 series router
