RAX35 Very Long boot up times

Why does a device with an embedded processor and a single function take longer than 10 minutes to boot up?
Latest firmware 1.03.62_1.0.1?

I’ve reset, reinstalled, etc. should I just return it? I also had to turn off the AX functionality, otherwise 5g WiFi crawls to sub megabit after reboot.

Tried the support route, but after no response, I’m about to cross this manufacturer off the shopping list.

    yep timed a system setting change and it took 3 mins and 10 seconds to reboot.

    Pretty bad when a router 9 years ago does it in about 30 seconds on a single core processor.
