You may want to factory reset the router and see if that resolves the issue. The firmware update could of caused the issue. You can also backup your routers settings if needed before factory resetting the router. https://kb.netgear.com/24231/How-do-I-back-up-the-router-configuration-settings-on-my-Nighthawk-router

The router restores factory settings and still has the problem of random reboot. I hope the engineers will pay attention to this problem and solve it in the new version of firmware. A router at this price shouldn't have such a low-level problem.
