1 of the things I like about my Motorola Surfboard 3100 is that I can reboot via the built-in wotsit via my browser. I can even do a reset to factory settings [needed occasionally] from there, which negates the hassle of finding something small enough to fit in the hole at the back & keep it pressed in while I put the power lead back in.

No problems with the modem in the 6 or so years I've had it and over a year for the router!
Funnily enough, that's about how long I've had my SACM - well, more like 6 1/2.
