You went back to your old firmware and you still had the problem albeit less often?
But 5g has Internet 100% of the time for both firmware versions?
It sounds like a hardware problem with the router then...

What's even weird is that when I went back a firmware, the GUI from the latest firmware was still present. That to me was an indication something was not kosher.
I gave up and bought a new one to see if it will do the same problem. Of course the firmware that was on that one was way older so I installed the 1.4.30 since I need VLAN access which the old version didn't have.
The old router hadn't connected to get my email since 2 in the morning.What's weird is that Skype could connect, certain websites too but not google. There are so many variables in this situation that I didn't know where to start. So hopefully, a new router will let me know where the problem is.
Pretty sad I had bought the other back in April of 2015 and if it is in fact the harware, that is pretty pathetic.
