I agree although I did recently setup a good router (WRT150N w/ DDWRT) for my sister who is using ATT and generally have never had any issues with DSL setups. After multiple reboots of router and computer, and resetting modem and not getting anywhere, I cloned the MAC addy and all was good. I've never needed to do that on any other setup before (ATT, comcast, charter, etc), but it was the only thing that fixed the issue. Thought it was worth a try ;)

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.
