vr1600v wifi Terrible!

Been on the NBN for 4 weeks now and have been through two TP-Link VR1600v modems.  First modem was faulty and would not provide Wi-Fi unless you were 20cm's close.  The second modem worked for a short time and then regular wi-fi drop outs occurred for no reason at all.  It's definitely not a channel or interference issue as I have verified this (I work as a network engineer managing a very large Wi-Fi network).  Is anyone else experiencing similar issues with these modems?
