    If you're going to upgrade the cable modem, go with an SB6120 which is DOCSIS 3.0 capable. Even if your ISP doesn't currently support it, it may in the future. I upgraded my 5120 (DOCSIS 2.0) to a 6120 and saw my download rates jump for 12Mbps to 17Mbps (Comcast in my area is DOCSIS 3.0 enabled). Though I'm still waiting for FiOS due to Comcast's traffic shaping schemes.
    Comcast -> SB6120 -> WRT54GL (Tomato 1.27) -> PAP2T
    Tomato settings: Ports Fowarded: 5000-65000 UDP, UDP Unreplied Timeout: 10, UDP Assured Timeout: 300, QoS Enabled, Static DHCP to PAP2T MAC address

    I really don't want to buy my own modem since Time Warner gives me one with service (no extra rental charge). They are supposed to be going DOCSIS 3 in my market to compete more with U-Verse, so I may get a new one soon if I upgrade my speed tier. I don't think they'll give me a new modem unless I can prove something is wrong with the current one. Since my internet connection is stable I really have no recourse.

    I did put the ATA behind an Airlink 101 AR430W running DD-WRT and have had no problems with it so far. I'll update if that changes.
