Yeah, I should have tried the factory reset thing as I just found the
paper clip sized hole on the back of the unit as I was replacing it. I
broke my budget and went a little crazy and bought a D-Link gigabit
router that's pretty sweet so far. Not dramatically faster as it topped
out around 32 MB's per/sec. All I did was just unplug the old one, hook
up the new one and everything worked. Plug-N-Play simplicity although I
will go back into setup and tweak the settings. From what I've seen it's
not too complicated. :-D

moronically caps at 20GB! Hate DSL & DSL modem BS but it's working
mostly except it gets real slow some days.
At to the reset thing, it's local to the modem so power off & allowing
for capacitive discharge of a 1 min or 2 at the most should clear it.
As to testing the router, if I missed the part where you were able to
cycle through machines solely plugged into the modem & all worked but
not router then I would be do a factory reset on the router.

Arg, for christ's sake, it's a standard motorola modem and they all
work the same. It does not take 30min of power off to reset or
timeout at the cable co. Either it's the modem caching or your
account is PERMANENTLY
It certainly does because I've witnessed it many times. It might not
take
15-30 minutes but you definitely have to leave it off for a period of
time.
Thank god I have FIOS.
