By reset, did you just simply power cycle the router? When we talk about reset here, we mean a hard reset back to factory defaults. In the web GUI, it might be called "erase" or "erase to factory settings". Then you must manually re-configure (enter all your setup information). It is not recommended to use a saved backup of the config.
There have been too many times where previous settings are not fully compatible across FW versions, leading to instability.
After upgrading firmware it is good to reset the router after an upgrade. See if that helps. If not you could always try reverting back to a previous firmware.
