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...

Good morning... Did your router replacement to another model resolve your issue? I am receiving the constant reboots and wonder if I just swap a new unit or go to another product such as Linksys or TP Link. Well, during this message, my router decides to reboot, once again. Pray for me!!!!!
Good Morning. I received a replacement of the Netgear RAX12 and unfortunately I encountered the same problem with random reboots with the new router. I did notice that when I approached 30 attached current devices (utilized or idle, i.e. devices, IOT's, etc.) the random re-boots would trigger. I can't be sure but suspect this may be a trigger event. Regardless, I thought it was time to move on and I replaced my Netgear with a ASUS router one month ago and I've not encountered any random reboots with the ASUS device.
Yeah, I fortunately "bit the bullet" and purchased a TP-Link AX6000 WIFI 6 (Archer 6000) router about 10 minutes ago (Amazon will have it here at my home between 5:00pm-10:00pm today, fingers crossed). NG decided that I had enough problems and will be sending me a replacement router. Once I receive it, look out store I purchased it from, it's coming back for a "Full Refund'!"
I have always used Netgear and am very sad to go, but got to say goodbye sometimes..... Farewell Netgear community, in a few hours, I will no longer be a part of this lovely community....
- jcassady88 same! I bought a RAX200 which honestly worked great, but I found find myself having nightmares of the support I received with the RAX120, so I've decided to return the RAX200. I honestly was not confident that if something went wrong with my new rax200, that I would receive proper support. So I've moved on to Asus. Farewell Netgear community. I'll still be on the lookout for a solution as I have a RAX120 that's currently a paperweight.
