Is that a Zyxel from CCI?
Sorry you had so much trouble! My phone company's DSL service
(Waitsfield Champlain Valley Telecom) is reliable. Too bad we've all
been waiting since 1995 for that fiber optic cable.
I think it's just a crappy router, and there's something broken and
wrong with its ARP handling.

My old one was a BEC also. I think they are ok, and there is probably a
fix. In theory you could have the two radios and the ethernet on three
network segments, and you wouldn't expect to forward arp data between
them, so it is probably in a mode like that, I was hoping this rang a
bell with someone.
Security from unauthorized users on the
wireless would have to go the other way around.
Yes, I had the same thought!
It is possible that I had some arp issue with the old modem,
unfortunately/fortunately once the caches warm up you forget there was
ever any trouble. It is easy to accidentally fix the problem before you
realize you had it. Just trying to connect to the broken machine fixes
it! You need to flush the cache to test.
