Router keeps resetting to factory defaults

Hi all! Happy New Years first of all! :)

Ok so I have my RT-N66U for 22 months now and only last 3 weeks it started acting up and resetting itself to defaults. Basically it feels like I un-box and plug in a fresh new router (this is what the main screen looks like):

At first, I was using Merlin's old 1,5+ year build on it (276 or 279?) and didn't bother upgrading since it worked great. But then one morning I wake up and my internet's down, I check the router and it's reset completely. So I decide just to upgrade to the latest available build (RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_376.49_2) and set it up all over again. Well fast-forward to today and it has reset another 4-5 times and each time it has happened within a shorter period (last reset was this afternoon, before that was yesterday morning). Is there anything I could try before returning it to the warranty department? Thanks in advance guys!
 
Only thing I would try would be to turn the router off, and press the reset and wps buttons about 10 times each in case you have a flakey switch that is intermittently making connection (note that if the switch is bad, this could kill it completely).

Other than that, it sounds like RMA time.
