Just got this router, and I don't upload much of anything typically, so I didn't notice until recently. Anyway, here's the situation:

I can reliably crash my router by saturating the upload bandwidth for ~3 minutes. Sometimes it crashes right away, but it usually won't last past 5. I'm uploading Christmas pictures to the web so I can share them with family. I have a set of about 50 pictures, 50 MB in total, that I'm trying to upload. It'll get through some pictures then crash. I'm using the 2.4GHz band. The crash affects the whole router, but that doesn't show by the lights on the router. The 2.4GHz light is frozen, but LAN lights, 5GHz band, and internet connection lights keep blinking. The router doesn't respond to pings. I have to power cycle it to bring it back to life.

I haven't really changed any settings since I turned it on. I've set SSIDs and made passwords, tried turning off the firewall temporarily in case that was a problem (didn't change a thing). Any ideas on what to try next or do I just have a dud?

Thanks.
