Thanks.. yeah, we've looked at that... but in the meantime as they fail we are pulling them out of production and scrapping them pretty much...
I'm estimating we have 10-12 of these still left at sites and they all came from the same supplier which is suspicious (hence my questions on fake gear)....

While I don't have an elegant fix for you, how about kron job that reloads the router every 2 week in the wee hours of the morning? If it's only a 2621XM it can't be too big of a site and likely not that critical (assumption but probably fair). A reload shouldn't be too painful. Though we are taking about a 2600 XM router. Boot time for one of them is over 10m if memory serves me correctly. I hate to use duct tape fixes like that but sometimes the simplest solution (problem avoidance) is the best overall approach.
