You went in and set it to disable router functions (turning off wifi doesn't disable routing functions)?
How did you do this?

I have no QoS on, and no access control or anything like that, and also no network traffic on either for tracking it. I heard before that having the traffic meter on can cause problems, thats off as well.
Might be worth trying the update then
