    have you tried downgrading the firmware? I'd recommend doing it in this order for the best success. 

    1. Do this all over ethernet.

    4. Factory reset it after the update. 

     

    sounds like a lot of factory resetting but whenever I've had issues with routers, this tends to work the best.
