WNDR 4300 loses 2.4GHz Radio daily

I purchased a 4300 router in November of 2013. Soon after purchase I had to reboot the router daily to keep the wireless working. Tech support provided a new firmware update which solved the problem. ...

    The issue was never about the Cable Modem. I fixed the issue by swapping out the Router for someone else's and so far it's been rock solid.

    Thanks anyway.

I have the same issue on my WNDR4300 (first rev). Problems started up as soon as I updated to 1.0.2.80.  2.4 gHz band goes into Wonderland mode after a few days.  Very irregular frequency but the 5 gHz band remains active.  I did have the 5 gHz Guest radio off.  I have enabled it now just to see if it makes a difference.

5 gHz Guest radio on for 3 days before 2.4 gHz band completely dropped out.  Signal strength is there but no connection to the internet at all. 5 gHz band still working but I need the 2.4 band working for other devices in my home. Looks like a premature replacement.
