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.

Same issues, roughly same amount of time owned. And now I too have updated with Beta Firmware and 1st reboot was about 3 days after update, it was around 12pm which if that's the case doesn't truly affect me and I can definitely rest a little easier if it keeps it up. This seems to be the closest thing to a fix yet
Keep it up guys and I may just be able to stay on the NG Team.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
What is the first 3 characters of the routers serial number please.
Did you factory reset the router and setup from scratch with out using any saved config backups from file?
Also change the default DHCP IP address pool range to .100 to .200.
Others have seen long past 3 days with out reboots. So you maybe seeing something else that's causing problems...Need to narrow it down more.
What devices do you have all connected?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
How is Basic and Advanced Wireless settings configured?

- 16 days on beta and counting…
Update: I have only had one unexpected reboot since installing the beta. The problem might be related to an Ethernet port on one of my PCs. I swapped out the RAX120 with my old router and could not reproduce the problem there, so something is still going on with the RAX120 but other than that it has been stable on the beta. Now on 12+ days after an initial 11+ days (so just one reboot over the past 23 days). Hoping the general release comes out soon to fix the other issues with the stats page not loading.
What's the ethernet brand and model#? Be sure drivers are up to date for that adapter. Might try swapping in a different adapter if you feel this could be an issue here.
