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.

The internal fan setting gets unchecked during a power cycle so this isnt the greatest fix.
192.168.1.1/Thermal_FAN.htm is showing my temperature to be "NaNC" which sure looks like it is not reading the temperature correctly and probably never turning on the fan.
192.168.1.1/debug.htm setting the fan to always be on didnt appear to turn the fan on for me and I tried both not clicking Apply and clicking Apply. When clicking Apply it causes the networking to reset on the router and I was reading in another forum this shouldn't be needed.
I will buy an AC infinity fan in the meantime in another attempt to fix this blasted router.
Curious if people claiming the fan fixed their reset problems also have the 2.4Ghz WMM enabled.
Fan "Always on" started working for me when I reflashed firmware. I did first back up my router settings then reloaded them after firmware reflash. Hope that helps. Also, I left 2.4 wmm enabled.
