My DIR-835 has been running for ~ 1.5 years without issues.

But I did notice a problem like the above after I upgraded OpenWRT to the
latest stable version (14.07 Barrier Breaker). The network would slow down
occasionally, and a reboot would clear it up.

The workaround was to have a daily cron entry (around 4 am in the morning)
that called:

/etc/init.d/network restart

That made the network fast all the time.
