Some times if you upgrade the firmware or mess around with the settings or very infrequently all by itself the configuration memory in the router can become corrupted. Recommend you do the following.
Reset the router by pressing in the reset button on the back for at least 10 seconds until the power light turns orange and starts to blink.
Update to the latest firmware. Don't change the firmware again unless you have a problem that a newer version of firmware fixes or there is an important security update that affects you. There is always a risk of bricking (breaking) your router when you change firmware.
Reset the router again like the first time.
Change the admin password and leave all other router configuration items alone and try running it with defaults.
Report back and let us know how it is running.
You should always do a reset after changing firmware.
