Router sometimes stops WAN traffic, allowing clients to associate with 380.61-0 on N66U

[kensey]

A couple of weeks ago I saw that there was a new stable build of Merlin out, so I downloaded it and applied it to the router. Everything appeared to go OK, but since then, every few days the router will stop passing traffic to the WAN, and will not allow clients to associate to either the 2.4 or 5-GHz network. Oddly, this always begins with my wife's laptop, but after a few minutes it happens with every device in the house. It's almost like my wife's laptop is doing something that kills the connection, first for it and then for everything else.

I know how frustrating issues like this can be to track down -- are there any diagnostic utilities I should run or logs I should enable for the next time it happens?

Did you do a full reset to factory defaults after flashing the latest firmware and then follow with a minimal and manual configuration to secure the router and connect to your ISP?

Have you tried using a new ssid for each band (passwords can be the same)?

Does your ssid's, passwords and all network device names contain only alpha numeric characters?

What os is your wife's laptop running (is it up to date)?
