Do I have to reset it? <-- First, when you apply a firmware update, the router will automatically do a soft reset. If the router is now behaving, you should not have to reset further.
If you still perceive issues, then do a hard reset back to factory specifications and set it up again.
If you continue to have issues, consider a better quality router.

Resetting the router would only reset it back to factory defaults using the latest firmware. However, that said you may have new options added that the firmware upgrade may have added so it is a good idea to go through it and see if anything may have changed since your last save. Hopefully, you saved a copy of your config before you did the upgrade. If not you can still do one so don't worry.
If you have time and are comfortable, go ahead and reset it to factory and go through a complete configuration. This will allow you do explore any new features as well as fine tune any settings. Don't forget to do a backup once you're done.

@slingingshot15 - Thank you and I was happy to help.
It could have a hardware issue.
It might need a firmware upgrade to sort out issues. I have seen that as well.
Try upgrading the firmware and testing that.
If a firmware upgrade does not work, consider a newer router.
