It is my ISP who has a problem. They haven't said which, but my educated

Why are you using an ISP-supplied router? I have always bought my own.
Even when I was on ADSL, I found a USB device (Conexant AccessRunner) for
which you could get firmware that would run it as just a modem, not a
router, so I could connect it as an extra network interface on a Linux box
and have that handle the routing. I just had to set it up as a PPP-over-
ATM connection.
Nowadays, with fibre, all the on-premise connections are Ethernet anyway,
which makes things even easier.
