I've got ADSL through Qwest and the supplied modem's been getting pretty finicky dropping connections and needing frequent reboots. I'm going to buy a new modem (the actiontec m1000):

I've never setup a new ADSL modem, but I do have experience networking. I was just hoping someone has had a similar experience and let me know what to expect with this setup. Is it generally just a plug and play deal, or will things need to be changed around on the new modem?

Thanks in advance.

It should just plug and go , thev router is the important part tro get setup properly just make sure you secure your wireless
