Perhaps not the answer as I suspect you are looking for, but I have ALWAYS just built my routers using old PC(s) running linux and iptables and I have NEVER had any of these problems. If this seems onerous, perhaps www.linuxrouter.org can make this easier. Besides connectivity, you can sleep easier knowing what your router is really doing.
