Rax 120-100NAS Reboot Problem
I have a RAX120-100NAS running firmware 1.2.3.28. I noticed it reboots servel times a day. What's astable firmware to use or does anyone have a solution.

I checked the reviews of Netgear routes 120, 200, 500 and they all have a rebooting problem. Thanks for your help

Darn, possible the unit was just bad from the get go.:smileyembarrassed:
Can try another 120 or maybe a RAX200. Any interest in a RAXE500? Something with 6Ghz support.

Put a USB laptop fan under the router if you feel the router is getting too hot.
I keep one under any of my routers I have online 24/7.

I might try it even if i think this is not a good solution for the fture. - FURRYe38Dec 22, 2021Guru - Experienced User
I've been using USB laptop fans since about 2012 under my routers. No issues and helps save router HW from heat damage over time. Cooler the HW runs the better.
- Eric35Dec 22, 2021GuideGood for you!!!
But read facts about it, all over internet / google and you'll see...
It's a good solution in short term.
