Orbi RBR50 nearly constant reboots

I've had this router for over a year now, and I've always had minor issues with it rebooting on it's own. The entire thing goes down, including my ethernet to my computer. But for the past few months it has just gotten gradually worse to the point where every few hours or so it will constantly go down then up all within 5 or so minutes at a time, but then working again for around 5 hours uninterrupted. I've tried so many things. First I tried all kinds of settings combinations that I found online. Nothing. Then I tried rolling back 2 or 3 versions of firmware. Nothing. Then I tried to isolate the device, unplugging the satelite, and changing the SSID so no other devices except my ethernet linked computer and modem were connected. I'm about at the point of giving up and settling on it's either hardware defective (and out of warranty so I'm screwed) or it's incompatible with my particular SB6141 and Comcast/Xfinity setup. I have found others mentions of similar issues. I really don't want to throw in the towel but I really can't take it anymore. 

 

Debugging info is incredibly cryptic for me but there is an ever present kernal panic data here (I can't figure out if debugging ever clears this out or if this is old info, but it's always there even when I stop debugging then reinitialize):
