    Ok, enabling email logs seems to help stop the RBR mysterious rebooting. Mines been online for 4+ days:

     

    Uptime would have been more however we had a brown out last Wednesday.

Any ideas when Netgear will fix this?

Nope. 

We are currently in testing of this issue to see if this is the main reason we are seeing these mysterious reboots. So far my RBR850 has been online for 2+days now with Email logging enabled with zero reboots. Where as before, it was rebooting every 6-7 hours. 

We've advised NG of what we are seeing and the details is all.

        Got 2FA set up but can’t find that. Just 8 digit backup codes or option to use authenticator app that scans a QR code.
