I just purchased this router yesterday, and after a painful setup process it works fine now - but I also cannot get the preamble on 5GHz to save when I change it to Short Preamble.
Has anyone found a fix for this?
I found that after updating the firmware, some settings turned themselves off/on (Coexistence on 2.4Ghz, as an example, turned itself off).
Also getting really poor performance on the 2.4GHz range with the channel set to Auto. Going to flip it to Manual and see how I go.

It's not working fine now by your own admission. Poor performance on 2.4 isin't working fine.
Welcome to the mess that this router is on a daily basis, like I said before, if you have the opportunity to return it do it and save yourself a lot of headache and money.
