VERY long reboot times - XR500

Ok, so to start, my shiny and exciting XR500 gaming router is turning into an absolute shambolic nightmare. The thing is plagued with problems. I am hoping for the sake of the community that it is just mine but this is the latest in a string of irritating bugs that should not be present on a £250 router. 

Due to many problems: IPV6 not working, DDNS being buggy, in game lag, higher than before ping stats and worse than before BQM results I have been forced into restarting my modem regularly. 

When i perform a reboot, either via the interface or the router itself it can take at least 5 minutes before the gui becomes responsive and will allow me to log in. The power light stays red while the other lights are white. Devices can connect to the internet but cannot connect to the router itself. 

Due to the long list of issues im having with this router I am starting to think it is a faulty unit. 

 

Anybody else experience this long wait while the router reboots?

Thanks
