I'd think you may have routing problems if you keep switching between ADSL 
routers as the MAC address would keep changing.  Don't know how the hardware 
at the other end would feel about this especially if it keeps an arp cache, 
it may take some time to notice the hardware change.

Or I could be blethering out of my arse 

I have a my adsl router plugged into a small hub and rj45 telephone/network 
points installed throughout the flat (but I'm a sad geek with power tools)
