so it only happens when you're streaming video?
If its only happening under heavy data usage, it could be a couple things you could check.
1. Temp. It could be overheating. See how hot it is during heavy useage. I've had one that needed a small fan during heavy usage to stay cool. Not an optimal solution but might have been why it was on ebay.
2. Power supply. Under heavy usage, it could be pulling to much power off the battery/power supply and thats whats causing the reboot. You could try a different power supply if you had one to see if this makes a difference.
Have you checked to make sure the firmware is up to date on the hotspot?
