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!
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapter for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch. Power OFF the ISP modem for 1 minute then back ON as well.
I did the factory reset, basic Netgear app setup and still the same. I live in a new apartment so there are few neighbours, I can detect 4 networks. I did power off and on many times for like 5 minutes and it still did not help. Again, my old router worth less than $50 had zero issues.

How do I check that? Technican from my internet provider connected one cable from some magic box with multiple ethernet outlets to Nighthawk router and it all worked :)
