Seemed more like wireless radios on Router or Satellites toggling off and on rather than rebooting. Seeing the indication that CPU being high makes me wonder if that was the cause of the Devices falling off the WiFi for a few moments.
I installed 2.1.2.18 two hours ago and so far things have been stable. FaceTime calls are much better. Time will tell.
