I've been struggling with my security issues due to the leaking sieve of a modem my isp, v-zon, requires me to use. I've tried Actiontec 704wg & 701wg, Westell 6100, 327w & 7500. It seems that these are compromised within 3 to 6 months each time. Yes I change usernames & passwords frequently, but the problem is that this info also goes to the local isp server when you log in to change your settings on the gateway.
I finally resorted to a D-Link dsl2540b modem/router which isn't supported by v-zon but works just great so far. I'm still learning about the settings this thing has. I may even put another router behind it for security.
I've included a word doc of an article I found at Tech Republic about the importance of changing default modem/gateway passwords. Tech Republic is another good source for those wanting to learn more.
