Router resetting time and consistently disabling the 5GHz band

I stuck this post under an old thread so I though I would just repost it and see if anyone else is experiencing issues similar to this. Using the latest 378.51, I consistently lose my 5GHz signal, but it happens at random times. When I login to the router, go to Wireless, the screen is cut off where I can't access or change anything, which is odd. Every other setting in the router works fine, I just can't access anything under the wireless settings, and I hope it doesn't have anything to do with Bitdefender.

This morning, my 5GHz signal wasn't working, so I logged into the router, copied the syslog (apparently it changed the date on my router too). Here's a small copy of the syslog when it changed the date of my router:

The top 7 lines referring to dnsmasq, goes on more many more times. I didn't feel like filling up a post with the same info. Are those top lines looking for a particular MAC address?
 
Because I followed everyone's advice, to the T, on that thread and nothing is fixed so I figured I'd throw it out there for someone else to answer. Plus, this is a different issue entirely and has nothing to do with the last thread.
