2701HG-B Modem/Router--Are these always flaky?

I loved my 2-Wire 2701 HG modem-router combination for six months, but
now it's become really flaky. Sometimes it loses the DSL connection to
AT&T, and sometimes it loses the wireless connection. It's all
intermittent. AT&T was almost too eager to send out a replacement. Is
there a history of problems with this modem/router?

Maybe they were eager because they figure hiring knowledgeable
people and then paying them to talk to you long enough to learn
whether there is really a problem with the 2-Wire will cost more
than just sending a replacement.
