Ricky, Is this a DSL PPPoE connection (where the FVS318Gv2 does have some limitations as per the referenced forum thread) or CableTV Internet (and no PPPoE)?

  It is cable internet. Under the Network Configuration/Wan Settings/ISP Type I have selected PPTP.
  
  So I guess no PPPoE?

    ...but similar problem, no hardware accelerated protocol optimizations in place for these PPPoE or PPTP on these devices.
