I had similar problems until I purchased an EdiMax ar-7084 router from  
Bug. it still continued to fail randomly until I replaced the  
telephone line cord with the one that was in the box.

Now it works perfectly. However eventually the connection gets "stale"  
and I have problems with Asterisk loosing connections. At that point  
(usually about 4 days), I reboot the router and it's fine.

I had a problem with the web interface using FireFox (it worked fine  
with Safari) and sent them a message via their support request on the  
web site. The next day, I woke up to a reply from them that included a  
pointer to a later version of the firmware that fixed the problem.

Note that this router connects directly to the aDSL line, it does not  
use an aztech or other "modem".I have a 15m/800k NGN line. At peak  
performance, I get 2.4 megabytes per second download. I connect to 012  
using PPPoe, and the router supports other protocols if you need them.

Just for completeness the only thing connected to the line is an HP  
J4580 fax/printer/scanner in another room. Connected to that is a DECT  
phone base station.
