Hello RaffyTaffy213 & sjbhh,
Just to confirm, the router shuts off entirely meaning the LED lights are off? If so, how long does it take for the router to reboot back up? Is there an action being performed on a particular device connected to your router (wired or wireless devices) when the issue occurs?

There is no action performed. As soon as the computer connects the router, the RAX120 crashes and reboots.
It is a complete reboot with all lights off and takes exactly the same time as a standard boot-cycle.
As soon as the Wi-Fi is back on, the PC will automatically try to connect again. As soon as it says Connected the router crashes again and we start the reboot and so on.
