Does it reboot when its not connected to the modem?
Is it random or when you perform a certain action? What I mean does visiting a certain website cause it to reboot?
How do you know its rebooting?
Have you tried a different outlet? I've had a loose wire in a outlet cause random reboots.
- SinfulWraithOct 23, 2020TutorI haven't checked with it not connected to the modem. The way I know it is disconnecting is everything lan and wireless gets disconnected. Lights on xr300 go off and back on as if the reboot was pressed as in Duma OS. My security system tells me when and when not there's internet connected.

Did you try a different outlet?
Did you replace the power supply at the same time? Or just the router portion of the device when they rma'd it.
- SinfulWraithOct 23, 2020TutorI changed out the power supply for the nighthawk along with the outlet and brand new surge protector.
