I stumbled upon your post because my router RAX120 has been running hot and the 5GHz keeps going out.  I found some info somebody else posted about their system getting hot.  Try "ip address/debug.htm".  I found a setting that says " Always enable Fan".  I checked it and hit apply and it looks like the setting stayed.  I just checked the fan and holy crap, it's on!  HOT air is coming out and I hope this fixes the performance issues.  I have a feeling the 5GHz radio was turning off due to overheating.

I'd also would want the fan to run 24/7 than 5g slow down.
