Please a beta firmware request rax120 serial 5F7

The beta is specific for v2 model routers.

After more than two months of testing on the beta firmware, I can confirm the beta firmware also solves my RAX120v1 issues (fw 1.2.8.40). My RAX120v1 (with fw 1.2.8.40) always becomes unstable or even loses Internet connection (both wired and wireless) due to overheat. It usually happens within in few days after a reboot.
The beta firmware makes the option "Always enable fan" work on routerlogin.com/debug.htm page. The fan never spins in current released version (fw 1.2.8.40). In the beta firmware, I also have to turn on the option "Always enable fan", otherwise, RAX120v1 still reboots every few days automatically.
My setup:
modem: CM2000
router: RAX120 (v1) with fw: 1.2.8.43-rc
