RBK50 on 2.1.12 and then 2.1.16
Just wanted to share an experience I have had recently. I had the reboot issues on the router and after some googling found it to be this issue as well. Waking up the phone would cause it as well as moving about the house where the phone would switch from satellite to router. So recently when I saw that 2.1.12 implemented wired backhaul I thoiught I would try it out. Some people with 2 satellites and others with switches were having network storm issue but I don't have either of these challengesso I gave it a shot. Since making that change I have not had the reboot that I can recall. I have updated to 2.1.16 that just came out and still no issue while being wired backhaul configiured. I'm sure this isn't an option for many of you but if it is it might be worth proving my scenario as a fluke or a solution.

I have a feeling that it might not just be an issue with Android 8 Devices. I have a Galaxy Note 8 runing android 7.1.1. I have noticed that my router reboots fairly consistantly at 7AM when my alarm goes off. It has also rebooted several other times throughout the day but i think almost always while I am using my phone.
