RT-N66U Need to Reboot Regularly

Kozmyk

New Around Here
I'm using a pair of RT-N66U's, one as main router and one as a repeater.
I'm finding that I have to do a reboot about once every week or so as it seems to "clog up".
The net slows right down and the ping goes way up, today's was 536ms instead of the usual 18ms.
A reboot clears this till the next time.
Is this normal or might I have a memory leak going on ?

Currently on the Fork Firmware 374.43_2-03j9527 having come back down from RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_376.44_0 in the hope of solving this need for rebooting.

It's not the end of the world but it only shows when it all slows down and that can be a nuisance when it interrupts something live. Gaming, streaming or just communicating.
 
I have had the same problem for as long as I can remember. Torrents in particular seem to seize up my RT-N66U, all fixed by a reboot.
