It isn't the router, it's (mostly) the firmware. I haven't had any hardware issues, at least. Verizon slaps their own branded firmware on the Actiontec router, and it's pretty bad. Lots of annoying warnings (this is for advanced users! Are you sure?!) that cannot be turned off, and an extraordinarily confusing port forwarding configuration.
Then again, I've never seen the "normal", non-Verizon firmware, it may be just as bad as Verizon's!
