DIR-601 (DIR-600 firmware) no Internet Access

Hi,
First, since this is my first post in this forum, I would like to congratulate you a creating a great firmware with lots of features and a working and friendly QoS.
I've been having an issue with my first attempt to use your firmware, been using DD-WRT for about 3 or 4 years but decided to change to yours because DD-WRT QoS implementation is terrible, so I grabbed a DIR-601 and downloaded 1.3.16 for DIR-600, used an HEX editor to change HWID and flashed it using the D-LINK Firmware Recovery page, everything went smoothly and I had a working QoS in no time.
Here comes the problem, after about 2 days of having no issue with the router, suddenly I have no internet access, went ahead and restarted the router, still no internet connection, I could get to Gargoyle admin page and verify there was an IP in the WAN side (Router is using DHCP for WAN and is connected to a Motorola surfboard cable modem from the ISP), went ahead and restarted Cable Modem and Router, still no Internet Access, SSH into Router and verified with ifconfig the IPs, still no Internet even from inside the router. Replaced the router with a DD-WRT router and everything worked fine.
After a couple of days I had some spare time so I went ahead and Restored Defaults in the router, the router never started Gargoyle again (the power light blinked forever), so I flashed it back to D-Link firmware and back to Gargoyle again, connected it to the Cable Modem and everything worked again...for 1 day, again has the same problem were it get the DHCP from de ISP but I cant access Internet, tried disabling QoS, Wireless, and everything I changed and rebooted and the problem persists.
I'm not a Linux guy so I don't know what else to do, I can help debug the problem if you can guide me into where to look for the problem.
