All of that sounds familiar when I was setting mine up. I would 
certainly never recommend one of these or buy one again. In fact, I 
already knew they had problems but I got one anyway with my IHUG 
connection because it was significantly discounted. In hindsight I 
probably should have passed it up.

However now I have it configured (and the config exported) and I'm also 
using a secondary firewall host (because I had all sorts of trouble with 
the firewall on the device), and my 'kick it when its down' script is 
going, it all seems to be working.

BTW does anyone want to use my script? I can release it under the GPL if 
anyone is interested. It asks for a password at startup, then 
periodically pings a remote site (you can change it, but I use a 
www.google.com IP address) and auto-reboots the modem/router if no reply 
is received for 5 minutes. Nothing complicated, but I'm happy to share...
