What _exactly_ does "LOSE connectivity" mean, and how _exactly_ do you
know that? Is a cable getting unplugged? Keep the kids out of the
network closet.

Who is the "the" that has to reboot the modem, and _exactly_ why? Do
the status lights show the DSL link to be down?

Bad idea in my opinion -- all-in-one devices reduce flexibility. Best
of breed is better, and I think Speedstream is a better DSL modem.

It's hard to know what to recommend with a lot more specifics on what's
actually happening.

The can't. It's a private address. What it is irrelevant to the
outside world.

Since this more like a DSL problem than a wireless problem, this is
cross-posted to comp.dcom.xdsl with follow-up set.
