I had the problem on the old v24-sp2 as well as the new v.30-r46604
The configuration is as in the tutorial, and while network in general is working very well all clients that are connected via the bridge lose internet after some time. But just clicking "Apply Settings" in the Setup/Basic Setup screen fixes it for another 1-5 minutes.
I already searched for this extensively and found some people with similar (but obviously not the exact same problems, hence the word similar, just the same symptoms but I found nothing else and maybe these give a hint to the root of the matter; quite possibly the reason I made a new topic because I couldn't find someone with the exact same problem and possibly a working solution) problems, but no solution that helped:

Host Router: 192.168.0.1
Bridge: 192.168.0.250 (outside of Host's DHCP)
Settings I use:
Setup/Basic Setup
Local IP 192.168.0.250/24
GW: Host see above.
Local DNS: 0.0.0.0 (same result with 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or Host)
Shortcut Forwarding Engine: off (same result with on)
Setup/Advanced Routing
Operating Mode: Router
Services/Services
Dnsmasq: Disable
Security/Firewall
Everything off except Filter Multicast -> Save
SPI Firewall: Disable -> Apply
Wireless
Well it runs flawless in LAN so I guess everything is right here.
After I "Apply Settings" in Setup:

It's driving me crazy. Could the Host Router be the culprit?
It's a Vodafone Station TG3442DE, but it sadly doesn't have much to configure.

For one, you cannot compare apples and oranges. First link is to discussion about Broadcom devices.

Is it possible to ping between LAN attached devices/access shares ?

Does not sound good to me, there should be no (re)routing on the 841, the clients should use the Vodafone Station TG3442DE on 192.168.0.1 as default gateway passing the 841 without interruption. clients dhcp ip config is the same during the complete connect session ?
