AC3200 becoming gigantic PITA

I haven't switched firmwares, and all of a sudden, after disabling guest network for issues not by the 3200, when going back to enable it, the entire router crashes and wont come back up unless nvram is reset through rescue mode.

Now, I cannot have a guest network though the config is the same as it was before and now, for some reason, VPN doesn't work. I got the new keys after reconfiguring it, and it just hangs on authorizing.

This thing is extremely frustrating the last week when it had been fine for months.

This is the exact same thing that happend with their 87u. Worked great for a few months, and now it is completely unreliable.
 
I think my problems started when I added the second wan, which is a T1. I have the original wan on a media converter, so it is fiber coming in, so no chance of a surge coming through that line. Also, the unit is on an online UPS. What are the odds of a surge hitting my router from the T1 causing it to die prematurely? Also, what are the odds that the surge didnt fry the T1 before hitting the router? Just trying to make sense of the issue.
 
I came back to the location, and exported again, and the config was missing 2 of the 3 cert keys in the original config. Perhaps I exported too soon after enabling the vpn.

VPN issue resolved, but guest network still causes bricking.
 
Well whatever was pissing it off stopped doing it. Rock solid for now. Jeez if I could be a fly in the wall near that router to see what's doing this.
