Recently, all Internet connectivity decided to stop working at home.  I tracked the problem down to my 2wire 2700HG-B DSL modem that was the more reliable of the two (my other is an Actiontec gt701-wg) that was just dropping packets into the ether somehow.  So, I put my Actiontec back in service briefly, only to be reminded of how flaky it was, stopping responding to even pings to the LAN interface every once and a while.  I ended up bricking the Actiontec in trying to do a recovery installation to it so I could clear out the flash completely to see if that would make it more reliable.
