Thanks for the reply , I taught this might had been the problem from the beginning since my AC1200 is 4 years old.

Will I reset the router to factory settings after the firmware flash and so far all day it's been steady . Will see if it says this way after a week , quick question is the AC-1200 supost to be left on 24/7 ? or shut off when not in used? I notice it gets warm .

Most people leave these devices on all the time. After all, they usually want constant access to the internet without having to turn something on and off.
All electronic devices generate some heat.
