Replacement SDSL modem

I have a SDSL line with covad and have been very happy with it for a long time tell just a few months ago when the sdsl modem/router would lockup. I know what is causing the box to lockup. We have a monthly port scan by a online security firm and when they port scan us that locks the modem up every-time. We have to have the port scan so we can't get rid of that. We currently have one of the older speed stream modem/router like the (Siemens 5890)running what I am sure is VERY old code. I would like to replace it with a zyxel p-791r v2 (»us.zyxel.com/Products/details.as···816D1028)

Dose anyone know if this will work? If so how hard would it be to configure it to work?

I've had great experiences with Speedstream products and I'd suggest looking at a Speedstream 5851 Router.

Here is one for 25.00 at eBay. It looks like it comes with FREE shipping - Standard Flat Rate Shipping Service

I am curious to know if Covad charged you for that modem replacement? I have Cyberonic/Covad for many years and my router recently went bad.

The Topic Starter is obviously looking at buying their own replacement. Most ISPs do not warranty the DSL Modem/Router (ADSL or SDSL) past one (1) Year. After that it is usually something that you pay to replace if it truly fails at Year 3 or Year 8 and anywhere in between.

FWIW, Covad is not your ISP.

New years eve of last year my netopia 4262 went casters up ... I called Covad and they scheduled an service call. The guy came out 1/2/08 and swapped it out.

I was billed for the service call, but not the modem.
