CAX80 keeps rebooting
For the past 3 days my CAX80 has been rebooting every 4 to 5 hours. I’ve tried connecting the power source directly to an outlet and that didn’t work. I did a factory reset and that also didn’t work. ...
Is there something preventing NG hardware owners from blocking the auto-update server? Maybe blocking the port number it is utilizing? Also the NG C7800 started having this exact same issue at the same time the CAX80 got its .7 update. It has gotten so bad that my C7800 finally burned itself out after thousands of reboots caused by fake DoS attacks. Which of course forces me to use up my 4 year warranty more than a full year before my warranty would have expired.

I've already made an insurance claim on the cable gateway at this point as I've been dealing with this issue for years and finally had enough.
