Ragnor: Only minor issue with half bridge is when your external ip address changes, the router won't pick it up from the modem until the dhcp lease expires (or you login to the router admin and force a dhcp renew).
Can be worked around by setting a low lease time, in my screenshot above I set 30min.. DHCP will renew at half of the lease time time ie: every 15min.
BOOM! I've been having this issue with my 8840, time to go and adjust the lease time. Never happened with my 1320, must have a had a low lease time by default.
