Consumer routers aren't really built to last.

Mostly true, but it sucks for OP because he was probably recommended that router by this board. It's really a good quality router, I would expect it to last longer than a year, too.

Hopefully it's just a config or firmware issue and not hardware.

I have the same router and it's lasted me several years now. Though a month or so ago I switched to a FreeBSD box for a router with a 24-port Dell pro switch, and have the ASUS in AP-only mode.
