I have US Robotics Broadband router model 9107, its based on BCM96345 chip, with BusyBox v1.00 (2005.08.16-13:01+0000).

I'm sorry that USR sold you a lemon, and that their tech support hasn't been 
able to fix anything.  I'd like to help, but it's not sounding like a simple 
fix.

You might want to try the buildroot mailing list (buildroot at uclibc.org), or 
the openwrt project (http://www.openwrt.org).  They could help you come up 
with a whole new set of software to put on the device, rather than trying to 
fix the software that's on it.  (This would be based on the same components, 
but it would be under your control and if something broke you could fix it.)

Never bet against the cheap plastic solution.
