I want to replace the DSL modem that was given by my ISP with a better quality one so I get fewer disconnects.  Is there any DSL modems out there that people have Openwrt running.  I could have QOS running on it into my asus WL-700ge.

Thanks,
LK.

Well, I could tell a story concerning this...
A friend of mine asked me to build a small home network for him by using just a D-Link DSL360-T and a simple, 4 or 5-port switch... and I made it! Not too surprisingly, this modem runs Linux, so I could configure it to behave like a router! It wasn't too hard, though, I just had to update the firmware to a "special" version (in fact, it was an untouched D-Link firmware from the german d-link site). It's a bit funny: the firmware, the modem came with, was a simplified version, which contained just the most important functions, so it didn't have a dhcp daemon, a firewall, pppoe client, nothing! Just the very needed packages to work as an NT.
As I installed the "smart" firmware, a lot of new features and settings appeared on the web interface! It took me about 20-25 minutes to set up the dlink as a fully-functional NAT router, firewall and, of course, a DHCP server!
I'm not sure about QoS support on this model, but I think, that's more than enough for a modem.

Any TI-AR7 device should do the trick.  See http://wiki.openwrt.org/AR7Port and http://wiki.openwrt.org/CategoryAR7Device.

If you just want it to act as a modem and not a router, setting it up to act like a bridge should be pretty easy.

Linksys ADSL2MUE seems the most obvious, but is stated as a WIP in TableOfHardware.  Is this most suitable option?
