AX12 RAX120 Constantly Rebooting
For the third time in a year, this router has started to reboot itself about 10 times per hour. I have 50+ wifi/wired devices connected. Current firmware v1.2.3.28 installed over 3 months ago. No ...
- Mar 23, 2022The last time this happened, I did do a factory reset. No help. That time I was inside the return window so I sent it back for another one. That’s the one I have now and it’s been solid for months since it too had the problem twice. Ruling out a defective unit. Update: I unplugged it for the overnight. Powering it back up in the morning, it’s been solid once again. Definitely a heat issue. I also have a mesh that records traffic to each connected device. One tablet running a surveillance camera stream had used over 7.5GB 2.4mhz streaming over a 2 hour period just before this started. I’ve disabled 2.4mhz WMM and the home assistant card responsible for the streaming. No more problems. Bottom line, this router cannot handle 2.4mhz streaming video. It will overheat.

What FW version are you using?
Contact the forum moderator and ask about the beta that's available.
Also log into the routers IP address/debug.htm and enable the Thermal Fan check box. Will help keep the router cooler.
Or install a laptop cooler fan for 24/7 cooling:
Helps save electronics life span.
