Hi JensB
Welcome to the community!
I suggest that you reflash the firmware of the router.
Download the firmware once again and reset the router after.
To reset the router, push it for 10 seconds with a paperclip.
After the reset, reconfigure the router and observe the connection.
Let us know what happens.
