If I reboot the modem first, then the router, the local network goes up just fine but I get no internet.
If I reboot the router first, then the modem, I get internet but it's temporary and often flakey. My ISP tech support says that the router isn't accepting the ip changes dynamically for some reason and when the router trys to dictate the modem things don't work right.

Are you sure it is not a combination device that includes a router?
