Every time the router becomes wedged, I power cycle both the router and the cable modem.

Try a factory reset on the router.
Also enable IPv6 on the router as well...

IPv6 is already enabled.

Would be interesting to see if you disabled all wifi radios on the router to see if the router continued to lock up or not...
Also what CAT# LAN cable is in between the modem and router? CAT6 is recommended.
