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.
