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.

Will be good to get rid of that 6190. Long standing known issues with that chipset modem.
Trying to get customers to replace very common internet cable modems that work just fine with most every other router is probably the wrong path to take. You said the same thing about my fairly recent very common Motorola surfboard 6190 modem which had no random reboots and no video streaming glitches on my previous netgear AC router.
The new beta firmware is definitely much more stable as far as random reboots although I occasionally now have a few hiccups in streaming 4k video connected via the 5ghz link.

Cabling is a recommendation only. And for some who are using the multi gig port, better class cable is recommended.
The SB6190 was just mentioned as well as it does have long standing and well known chip set vulnerabilities. But again, was a suggestion. Thats up to you if you still want to keep using it.
There maybe a bit more tuning needed be NG however the beta is only to stop the reboots. Does nothing else to fix other items that maybe seen by NG. If you feel there is something else wrong, please start a NEW post thread and we can troubleshoot it and get it reviewed by NG so they know.
