I purchased the Netgear DG632 DSL router to replace the Actiontec GT701-WG sent to me by Qwest DSL. The Actiontec needed to be reset about once per day due to it slowly degrading in performance until I would get 2 second ping times when online gaming (i.e. unplayable) or just flat dropping the connection.

After using the DG632 for about 9 months I can say it was a noticeable improvement in overall reliability. I still reset the modem about once per week, but that's not nearly as frustrating as what I had before. Download rates and such were pretty much identical between the Actiontec and the Netgear on a 1.5 Mbps connection (no surprise). I do find that I have to reset the modem more often if I'm doing bit-torrent. I still get some degradation in overall performance over time with that. It may have something to do with my provider. Not sure. This is with a PPPoA connection.

The one thing that the Netgear does not provide that the Actiontec did is a wireless connection. If that is important to people, they will need to pick up a wireless hub to add on to the box. I think Netgear has one that connects to this unit using USB. I don't use the wireless portion so it is no big deal to me. Keeping a decent wired connection to my provider was much more important.
