Assuming you are resetting the modem before changing the CPE, the modem should accept
a different MAC. I've never had situation were unplugging the modem > 60 sec did not
solve the issue except where the modem was toast. Cloning is for providers who lock
to a specific CPE's MAC and in this case would be a kludge. I too would be dubious of
any one router being more compatible than another assuming modem<->router link is
just DHCP.

If the computer works when directly connected to the modem, most routers have a
setting to clone the MAC address of the computer. This will often fix connection
problems. If that doesn't work I'm not sure whats causing your problems.
