Hi,
I've got a RTA1320 modem which is dying (overheating, etc).
I'm looking at buying a new modem. I don't need wireless feature, just a simple modem is fine. But reliability is important. Price < $500 preferable.
Some modems I've been looking at:
Linksys AG310-AU ADSL2+ Modem/Router, True firewall, Ethernet, 4xRJ-45 ports, VoIP

This modem seems pretty nice. However according to some websites it is already "obsolete". I'm not sure what this means but I can't find this modem on the Linksys website either.. does anyone have anything to say about this modem?
DrayTek Vigor 120 ADSL2+ Modem/Router, True firewall, Ethernet, 1xRJ-45 ports

I have read that DrayTek is a good brand. However I have not used them personally. Has anyone used this modem and has any feedback?
Cisco 857-K9 Integrated Services Router ADSL Modem/Router, True firewall, Ethernet, 4xRJ-45 ports

Quite a bit more expensive, but if reliability is important (which it is) then should I be considering something like this as a serious option? On the other hand, it seems like it could be overkill.
Any feedback and/or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Samuel
