1. Do I just have a bad apple and should I just get a replacement or is the a

Sounds a lot like other Dlink modems I've played with. I've replaced
dozens of them due to similar behaviour - the brand seems to have a
plague of horribly broken modems that like to misbehave.
Their network cards do silly things also. They don't drop packets, just
bits which corrupts the data stream. I avoid them like the plague.
Billion 5402's (ADSL2+ capable) are under $100/each - do yourself a
favour and get one of those, or something similar. :-)
