Some routers take longer to boot up than others. Like I have a tp-link that takes about 2-3 mins, versus another model which takes only 1 min. Tip in your situation- turn on the modem before the computer. That way there is less waiting time.
Also you may want to check the adsl sync speeds in the slow modem and compare it to the faster connecting modem. It may be that it is having to retrain many times because the wiring is bad in the other part of the house or you are using an extension cord.
