XR1000V2 hangs twice a week
Hi all.
I have a Nighthawk XR1000v2 router, with DUMAOS and firmware 1.1.1.16_2.1.25 which should be the latest version.
About a month ago, it started to hang (no internet, no access via LAN/WiFi) and I have to hard reset it to resume.
I thought it could be my power (although we don't have power issues in the area and we are connected to a 4y old power center) and I bought an APC UPS, to power it.
Problem remains.
Not a big deal, but me and my wife both work from home and it is a problem to get disconnected while on calls.
Also, I cannot find any setting that would reboot the router on schedule, so I could reboot it during the night, and avoid a hang during the day.
It is not my internet connection, as I have FTTH, and tried to connect a laptop directly to the modem, while router was hang, and worked.
Open to suggestions.

- That's hard to determine, do you notice any patterns about when it happens, e.g. really heavy internet usage, just changed a setting etc?
No pattern, just normal usage, wfh, gaming, etc. Hasn't happen while downloading torrents, or streaming, or updates.
- How often is it occurring, once a week, once a day, multiple times a day etc?
