It's only a matter of time for me and my clients, I'm sure ...

Looks like might need to do some more config of your VLAN.

    Before you configure any VLANs, the uncon?gured Gateway is set up as a 
    router composed of a LAN switch, a WAN switch, and a router in the middle, 
    with LAN and WAN IP inter faces connected to their respective switches. 
    These bindings between Ethernet switch por ts, IP LAN inter face, IP WAN 
    inter face and WAN physical por ts are automatically created. 

    When you configure any VLANs, the default bindings are no longer valid, 
    and the system requires explicit binding between IP inter faces and layer 
    2 inter faces. Each VLAN can be thought of as a layer 2 switch, and 
    enabling each por t or inter face in a VLAN is analogous to plugging it in 
    to the layer 2 switch. 

    Thereafter, in order for devices to communicate on layer 2, they must be 
    associated in the same VLAN. For devices to communicate at layer 3, the 
    devices must be either on the same VLAN, or on VLANs that have an Inter-
    VLAN routing group enabled in common.

BTW I noticed in the manual that uPNP is ON by default.  Might want to turn 
that off.
