Loren you should ditch that router simply because it has no configuration via web interface.

Sorry, I disagree too. That is the last reason to ditch a router IMHO. In my (fairly broad) experience configuring network devices (routers, switches, firewalls, VPN gateways, modems etc) any web interface has generally been slow, clunky or simply less useful than any command line/config file based interface.
Sure, a web interface puts a friendly graphical face on it which is useful to non-techies, but I don't think that Loren really needs that.
