My biggest fear is that since we are getting all of them in a batch instead
of mixed up on a shelf, and my diagnosis of the infant mortality is an
unknown mac/switch change...

 that 100% OR *0*% of the soon to arrive routers will work out of the box.

This sort of thing costs me sleep. I wish I had one of the borked routers to
at least poke at the phy a bit...
