RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
The router reboots frequently sometimes every 30 minutes. I have noticed that the router reboots under heavy system load of +50% on the processor. The only way I have been able to drastically lesse...
- Installed beta firmware 1.2.3.33 on it and then turn fan on in debug.htm. Just check mark it , don’t click on apply.
And bought a cool pad from amazon $10 . 4 days in a row no restart and router works perfect.

I am seeing the same random reboots, every few days.
I have a Netgear RAX120v2 running firmware version 1.2.3.28 connected to a Netgear CM2050V, both less than 20 days old.
The RAX120v2 and CM2050V are both connected to a APC UPS BR1500MS2, which is a sinewave, AVR UPS. These are the only devices connected to the UPS. That said, I don't believe that power fluctuations can be blamed for the reboots.
The device has WMM enabled for both 2.4 and 5 GHz. To quote Netgear's KB on WMM, "WMM is a subset of the IEEE 802.11e standard." I should not have to disable it to get rid of the reboots, and according to others in this thread, that doesn't solve the problem either.
This on top of the inability to disable WPS and other annoyances made me consider replacing it with another brand.
If you have the option to return the RAX and find a different RAX, I would recommend do this. This issue is known to NG and seems like it's taking longer than expected for NG to resolve this. No idea when it will be. So you might want to avoid this model and find something different.

FURRYe38 , thank you for your recommendation.
What I like about this model is its Qualcomm CPU, which it more likely to be supported by OpenWRT, hopefully in a not so distant future.I am debating myself what to do. Endure the reboots and wait for a solution. If I am just surfing the net, fine, if I am in a conference call, not so fine. Or go to another brand/model.
