[Gllug] Modem information requested.

[Sharon Kimble]

I'm getting modem connection problems again to my ISP on an ADSL line. Last 
evening they admitted that they were having problems on their status page, 
but the modem also seems to have quit at some stage during then night.

Last year I went through two modems, a netgear dg834 I think it was which cost 
me about £120, and then a D-Link DSL-300T for about £70. Both of them seemed 
to die because of overheating, they were both kept on a wooden shelf of my 
computer desk where the heat from the backend of my box was partially trapped 
under the desk.

Now this current modem, another DSL-300T seems to be also showing the same 
symptoms of intermittent connection, which I take to mean of impending death! 
This time it should not be overheating causing it, as it sits on the floor of 
the hall where the average temperature is about 17'c, and the coldest its got 
so far this winter is 15'c.

So now I'm looking for another ADSL modem to connect to my system/network 
which is not wifi, and will last! Can anyone suggest any good makes and 
models please, that I can possibly order online?

Hopefully thanks
Sharon.
