Speedtouch 510 ADSL Modem/FW/Router

We have been attempting to run NMAP and NESSUS scans using a new ADSL
cable link.  Using the ADSL modem mentioned above, we found that a standard
NMAP/NESSUS scan of an IP range would force the router to reboot itself
after 20 seconds.   Thinking this was faulty hardware we replaced it with
another brand new Speedtouch...to find the same problem occurred.   Having
talked to Thomson, they simply dismissed it as faulty hardware....but twice?

Anyone else found this problem, or can they confirm?

I have an Alcatel Speedtouch Home with Firmware update to 510 and I haven't this
problem.

Cheers
