RAX120 repeatedly reboots
Router repeatedly reboots. Had FW 1.0.1.108 (i recall) and now 1.0.1.122 and still the same issue. Wrote a little perl script to ping the router and report when it is not where. I see that it goes...
I just bought a new RAX120v2 router and hooked it up yesterday. It has the latest firmware 1.2.1.22. All works great until it reboots about every hour! Drops all wifi connections and reboots. Nothing in the log ever says why it did the reboot. I have it connected to CentryLink DSL modem as the Internet source. I'll check the DHCP lease time on it tonight. I had the Nighthawk set with a static IP to the DSL modem as well, and now back to DHCP. It's very frustrating as I had a Nighthawk D7000 before without an issue. But if this new Router RAX120v2 has no fix for it rebooting every hour then it's going right back to Amazon.
I am on my second Nighthawk router and am experiencing the same issues. The first 2 days everything works fine but now is constantly rebooting about 1-2 times a day. The support team has been no help just the constant process to do a factory reset and try various channels until one might not have issues. Did anyone find a solution to the nighthawk router rebooting on its own?
My final solution was to buy a TP-Link. No issues since. Netgear can go .......... themselves.

- Initial indications point to disabling wmm on the 2.4ghz band may have "fixed" the random reboots on my 120 v2. Found the idea on another thread in this Netgear forum.
