   Does it really matter if it's bad firmware or bad hardware?  If you were   
   already to isolate the problem to this unit then just return it and get   
   something different.  Why would you want a DSL Router when you have a   
   VPN router anyway?  Get a boring old standard bridge device (aka modem)   
   with no fancy routing ability and let the VPN Router do the work.
