Mee too. It keeps rebooting or re-initializing every few hours. Sometimes, it reboots when I do a speedtest, or start a large download. I've seen other threads on this - people just troubleshooting one PC, but all my devices (SmartThings hub, security cameras) are reporting a disconnection and reconnection throughout the day. I am on the beta V2.0.0.76. Others are warning not to download the latest firmware. Any opinion on this? I've had this unit for nearly a year - with the ridiculous short warranty period means I cannot RMA. I am warning my neighbors to check out these forums for reported problems before making a huge purchase like this. I love the wifi coverage, but dissapointed with the short warranty and all these problems. I feel sorry for a non-techy person.
