Hello, I had the same problem with a Linksys router connected to a cable modem. The only way I could get around this was to hook my scanning station directly to the cable modem to run the scan aggressively.

I currently have a Zyxel 643 router/ADSL modem that I "wanted to use for pen-testing, but the darn thing dies when doing something as simple as a port scan. I you have run into the problem, what was the fix other than throttling the scanning app? If a new modem, which one?
