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.
I have the European version of the router and after testing it, I can basically determine the problem: the wireless region is changed to Australia, and the problem of random reboots occurs. If the region is Europe, the reboot problem does not occur. For your reference.
