Nighthawk ax12 keeps rebooting
Help. This is driving me nuts. I’ve updated firmware changed our connectors but every half hour or so it just reboots itself
It is the RAX120. I tried a new power supply but it rebooted last night. I think it is my video cameras. I saw that it had issues with video streaming from the community Help. Disappointed that such a high end router can’t handle two little cameras

How did you decide that the cameras are the problem? Does the reboot stop when they are not connected?
What are they? Make? Model?
How do they connect to the router? Wifi? Wired Ethernet?
Routers should be able to handle dozens of cameras. Mine does.
I have seen no previous reports here of a router failing that task.
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 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.
