RAX 120 V1 Firmware Version 1.28.40 constantly powering off and rebooting multiple times

Should I not be using the Multi-Gig port as well as this counts as a feature too?
For the single SSID, should this be on the 2.4GhZ band or 5GhZ or does it not matter which one I choose?
I have tried using the router over at a friend's place too but no luck unfortunately đ - at this point assuming this is a hardware issue and I'm just due for an upgrade.
Ya try the 1Gb WAN port.
Doesn't matter, just enable Smart Connect
Ok, if you tried the router at a different location and problem follows, the router maybe just plain faulty and needs replacing.
Last resort you could try this and see. No guarantees:
