My router used to drop 2.4 Ghz. It ended up being a bug in the firmware. Like @legacy99 said, a firmware update could fix it. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Download it from the router manufactures website and log in to the web interface and upload it.

No. You need to do it thru a computer, a computer wired directly to the router. Dont do flashes over wireless.

a lot of times the router GUI with have a section where it will automatically reach out to the website and download its firmware. See if you have that option. Mine actually tells me when I login if there is an update available for firmware.

If you dont know what the login information is, then I would recommend you asking someone who does, like your brother. Otherwise, you can google a guide on your specific router on how to factory reset it and then re-set everything up including the login username/password to adminster the router. As far as the USB thing goes, I would expect you would still need to go get into the GUI of the router to be able to flash it.

Then you will need to do a factory reset on it and reset it up afterwards.
