As for the restart - I ran a debug log from the router debug page - you get a zip file - expand it, there is a reason file in text along with a ton of other cryptic info. The reason file said "Kernel Panic crash" or something similar. While I do not know if that crash is due to memory creep, I have seen ones where, monitoring daily, the memory slowly grows from 600MB used to almost 800MB, and then I see a restart the next morning. It could be unrelated, it could just be some buffer being overwritten; that's why I report the memory creep and crashes separately for now.
