After some troubleshooting I traced the problem to the "Hardware Acceleration" setting ... which is a shame because choosing between the two is not easy with all the gamers in this house.

I'm hoping this is a bug and something that can be fixed.

Nothing I can do about it, sorry.

CTF can occasionally cause compatibility issues for some ISPs.

v4 works perfectly fine though with it enabled. Is that expected? As you're in Canada - it is TekSavvy DSL we're talking about here, and they're usually pretty good at supporting advanced features and being ahead of the curve.

Apparently Asus is aware and this is resolved in 382 which is expected in September or October -
