Same. Tried two routers with different ISPs. Tried downgarding firmware. I noticed the DoS logs so I disabled that in the WAN settings. Nothing has worked.

Disable wmm on 2.4ghz, you'll find it under qos in a different tab.
- beachmilesJan 20, 2022ApprenticeDisabling wmm on the 2.4ghz In the advanced setup tab under quality of service seems to have helped me quite a bit. The router has been up 12 hours straight where before it wouldn't last an hour. Hopefully this is a real fix until Netgear hopefully patches this major bug.

I disabled WMM on 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz and didn't see a reboot for three days. I reenabled WMM on 5 Ghz cause my speed dropped to 54 Mbps when disabled and 1200 Mbps when enabled. It hasn't rebooted for five days but 2.4 gHz is down to 24 Mbps.. What a shame but most of the devices on 2.4 gHz aren't very demanding, 7 Alexa Dots, 7 Ring cameras, I do have a couple Roku devices on this too but I'll try to move them to 5 Ghz.

So if you re-enabled WMM on 2.4Ghz, do the reboots happen again?
