Have you tried to talk to Bezeq to give you back the Orkit modem? You
might ask for explanation for the change. If there are no subtle
technical reasons perhaps they might give it back to you. In addition, I
am curious for why it was replaced in the first place.
As for the ping problem, what is the routing table before, during and
after the connection gets up and dies? You might also try to narrow the
problem by not have the modem power off and on but by taking pulling the
Ethernet cable out, waiting a bit and then putting it back in. My
experience with other equipment is that it sometimes helps although I
wonder myself why (and perhaps it is not pulling the cable out and in
that helped but something else which was hidden from me).
Ethernet Gurus, is it likely that merely taking the cable out and in
might help and if so why? The online lamp in the card does manage to
notice when the cable is in or out.
