Anyone recommend an ethernet modem for Orange?

[SciNeT]

Hi, I have an Orange ADSL broadband account using a Thomson Speedtouch 330 USB modem, it's fine when connected but drops out about 10 - 15 times a day and it's becoming very tedious reconnecting all the time. Can almost guarantee it's dropped if I leave it idle for more than 30 mins. Maybe it's Orange and contention issues (booting me when idle) but maybe it's the modem, keep hearing the Speedtouch is a "Dog" of a modem and ethernet modems are superior. Any thoughts?

Thanks

There are very few true ethernet ADSL modems, the only one I would recommend that doesn't cost stupid is the DrayTek Vigor 100.

Are you sure its an ethernet modem you are after and not a router?

I'm not sure, is a router not used when there is more than computer? I only have the one stand alone PC, where would a router "route" to? And/or is a router a modem?

Thanks
