When the router rebooted, the VDSL line synced at the appropriate speed, but no manner of fiddling with the WAN settings would result in a successful VDSL connection. The logs would always only show:

I've swapped in another router and the VDSL connection is established without issue. I've double checked all settings and tried various alternatives, with no change in behaviour. This router was only bought a few months ago and has only ever been used on this Internet connection.
We are in Australia and are connected to the NBN.
Could there be an issue with this firmware version and VDSL connections?
My next step is to try to downgrade to d41, but the challenges in finding a reliable source for firmware releases doesn't provide a lot of confidence.
