Netgear WiFi 7 WBE710 Crashing/Rebooting

I have 3 WBE710 APs that I am not using InSights on only using local GUI. Last week I decided to update them from V11.5.1.5 to V11.8.0.14 and since then 1 AP has been having a Reboot reason code of "Crash". The other 2 APs are stable and have been up and online since the upgrade.

 

All 3 APs are configured in the same settings minus two APs are configured to have the LEDs off. One of the APs that is configured to the LEDs off started crashing every 3-12 hours. I did a typical restore to defaults and reconfigured to match the other settings of the APs and the single unit continued to crash. As a quick test I downgraded the crashing unit back to V11.5.1.5 "downgrading forces factory reset", reconfigured again to match the exact settings of the other APs, minus the LED setting. Since then it has been stable. 

 

Quick Configuration Settings - Everything else is default.

 

Static LAN IP Configured 192.168.x.x

SystemName Set

LED Disabled - High doubt it is this. I've seen weirder

Single SSID Configured
WPA3/WPA2 Personal

VLAN ID configured

Band Steering Enabled
Wireless Settings - 2.4/5/6Ghz
All 3 bands are configured with Dynamic Channel Width

 

 

Any thoughts would be welcomed. I don't really want to leave them on mismatch FW.
