It may be that it's not receiving enough power, could you try direct to a wall outlet/different outlet and if that doesn't work do you have another power adapter with a similar voltage you can try with?

Sadly, i can't move the cord, i ran it through the wall, down to an 8-plug power strip, the system is set up in a cabinet with a full air circulation system, so it doesn't hold any heat in the cabinet. the fans are plugged into the router though, could that be the cause, my last router didn't have an issue, but I'm willing to try anything.
I can plug the router into a different power strip will that work.

Try a different power strip or wall jack directly with the router.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
You'll need a ethernet connected PC to set up the router properly and probably get the fw updated. After you press the reset button, connect a ethernet connected PC or laptop to the back of the router and use MS Edge or Firefox and navigate to 192.168.1.1. This will being the setup wizard process.
192.168.1.1 is the routers IP address and web page access address. The 75.x address is the WAN IP address the router gets from the ISP modem? What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? This won't give location.
