Hi,
My router keeps randomly restarting. Network provider is doing fine - stable connection without any disturbances (I tested on different router while Nighthawk is going down. I also contacted the provider and they said there's been no problems on their side. I did turn off auto firmware updates but it did not help. I tried to browse logs but it only shows new logs from the boot up moment. My home network setup is super straightforward - minimal setup to make it work, did the Netgear app setup.
My setup is:
Nighthawk AX12 RAX120v2
Firmware V1.2.3.28
Router Mode
Router restarts few times a day, not more than 10.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Thanks!

One thing to add - I did work properly like 2 months ago. Updates were turned on and my patience can't handle the restarts anymore. I was thinking about downgrading firmware but I don't know to which version.
