Please have an eye to Nighthawk With WiFi 6 (AX) And WiFi 6E (AXE) Routers to discus an learn about Nighthawk (RAX and RAXE Series) router products. Ensure you are operating the current firmware as available on https://www.netgear.com/support Keep in mind two RAX120 variants exist.
Start with installing this long term Beta firmware RAX120-V1.2.8.43-rc 10/19/2022
Factory reset and setup from scratch after its loaded. It fixes random reboot issues seen by users with the 120v2 unit.
Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.

Stops working? In what way? No Internet? No wifi?
Why do you turn it on and off? Trying to fix something?
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The make and model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
