Unplug the router fully from the power for 10 minutes to start with, then plug it in, does it continue to reboot? If so then remove the WAN/internet cable from it, does it still occur?

Hi,
I have tried leaving it unplugged for 10 mins, still no change. it doesn’t reboot when there is no internet cable plugged in.
