The new beta version of the 2600 firmware (not the 2600+ or 2600Vs yet)
actually has the issue addressed,
so hopefully it's something they can fix in firmware across the range.

And yeah - the annoying thing is that this limitation hasn't been mentioned
at all on any of the publicity. Not a nice one for draytek to have to
handle.

Perhaps its a chipset limitation? most soho type routers dont support any
more then a /24 anyway, would be really annoying if this is what you bought
the router for specifically.
