Rolled back to Original config and firmwares late last night due to ongoing issues with the router not routing

I'm trying not to laugh.

Honestly

It's heading for an "education". Got to be by now.

I've got another support call in, been running for 4 weeks, with my brother's 2 routers in his business premises.  The support guy is trying to make out I can't route locally (over a hi speed, non internet wan link) using static routes. I have to use policy routing. Needless to say, that didn't work either, and still no further to sorting. Other than a slow, encapsulated IPsec tunnel over the internet, carrying video traffic, while the 50Mbps fast link is unused.

Surely the basic task of a router is to route packets? Neither mine or bro's is a particularly complex setup

Difficult to comment without seeing the configs involved. But yes, that was the bit that made me laugh - the ability for a router to route packets.

Its not complex. Here, there are some RIPEs directly on internet facing machines, and a threesome of NAT'd subnets. 2 internet lines with policy routing to decide what goes out each line.

Bro, even simpler - 2 sites, each with internet, and a reasonably fast dedicated site link. Nothing that a simple static route on each router shouldn't cope with.

Is the video equipment all on it's own subnet at each node?

Nope, each site has just one vlan. Shared with VoIP, video and general data  .  I may get separated, esp the VoIP, but until the router vendor can get the basic stuff working....
