I have a client who has one, but he has a Cisco Firewall/VPN router "inside" 
it, AND a 24-port network switch inside THAT, so his LAN doesn't route through 
the Motorola.  Rather than beating my head against the 3347, I would probably 
try putting a simple $10-$20 switch inside the router then connect everything 
to the switch.  LAN traffic would then not go through the 3347's internal 
circuitry.  Of course, if you're using wireless, this won't help :-(

Came across this tech note at the Netopia support site:

  Netopia - VLANs (Virtual LAN's) - 3300 Series - CQG_145
    By default if the VCC1 option (in this case PPP over Ethernet VCC1) is not 
    added to any VLAN, all users will be able to get out to the internet, 
    unless of course the lan-uplink has been removed. If you add the VCC1 
    interface to a VLAN, only that VLAN will be able to get online, while the 
    rest will be restricted.

Does this sound like what you're seeing?

Take note of this problem -- might not affect you if your firmware is new 
enough, this report is from 2007 or 2008, I think:

  New Qwest modem Motorola 3347 - dslreports.com
    I have the Qwest 3347-02 100Q Motorola (Netopia) DSL gateway and I'm using 
    it with my 1.5mb DSL from Qwest.  

    Personally, it's fine as far as speed goes but it's not what I would call 
    "highly configurable". There's no specific firewall settings and the UPnP 
    on it is a bit flaky. Not to mention it's susceptible to a widely known 
    DNS hack that's been in the wild for months.

Report back, please, as I may have to deal with some of these issues for a 
client of mine.
