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 need to get my hands on that firmware because mine is doing the exact same thing. I previously had the R7800 and it was perfect. It could easily handle all 60 of my connected devices without issue.
Needed to upgrade my router up at my cabin, so I bought this and boy has it been a mess. It's fast and puts out a strong 5Ghz signal but it gets overwhelmed all the time and the internet just starts chugging, dropping down to horrid speeds until it finally just lags out or reboots.
It's dropping all connections too, wired and wireless. I have a two APs in my house that are wired in and I use those for my 2.4Ghz smart home stuff, on separate SSIDs.
I turned off WMM and that helped a bit but still losing connection/rebooting 2 times a day. I finally just turned off the 2.4GHz all together but it didn't help.
Could you please point me in the direction of the beta firmware. I was mainly running Voxel's builds on my R7800 and now that all that's available for this is stock firmware I'm cringing at my purchase.

Hi,
Please, can I test this beta fw?, I just bought a rax120v2 and also have this random reboot issue, I opened a case on 2022-11-16 and they never mentioned anything about a beta fw, or be of any help what so ever.
Can you give feedback on this?
