    I would try from scratch. Whenever I've had an issue with firmware, its usually in the backup as well.

Thanks. I'll try a factory reset next. Do you think it would be ok to restore settings from a backup or should I reconfigure it from scratch. Should I also continue to use the latest firmware or downgrade?
