Please try to hard reset the router by using a pin or pencil tip to push in the indented reset slot in the back of the. Holding it for about 20 seconds then power off and on (few seconds) while still holding the reset button with the pen or pencil for another 20 seconds then release.
This will most likely return the router to factory default setting and then you can configure it again
Hope this will help.

How did you "reset" the router to factory settings after the firmware flash? Some people confuse reboot with reset.
New firmware sometimes introduces changes that are not compatible with the old configuration.
So while it isn't guaranteed to fix problems a factory reset is the first thing to try if you have issues with new firmware.
This is a nuisance because you then have to reconfigure the device all over again.
You can backup your settings before you reset and restore them later. But that may just bring back the fault. Then again, at least you will know if the reset fixed the problem.
