I have an ActionTec GT704-WG router, which works fine most of the time (though it seems to 'forget' the DNS servers - so I need to put the DNS IP address into the PCs TCPIP config) rather that allow the router to do the lookups)
But the main problem is when I use bittorrent - then it works well for 15 minutes or so - then locks up 
I can't even get on to the setup screen (though the 3 green lights are still on, and the vonage phone continues to work - through the router) - bit bittorrent drops to 0kbs and no web sites will open.
Any suggestions as to what I can do to not have to turn it off every 15 minutes would be welcome!
I guess that if I want to replace it with a different make I will need a DSL modem, as the ActionTec seems to be one of the few that has the modem built in??
