I reset the router and it did not change. Router kept rebooting. I did find however that one PC on my lan network was compromised and apparently someone had got in through an open port/vpn setup and was manually rebooting my router. Unsure if it was ISP or an attacker. I have since rebooted router again and closed all ports and disabled VPN with OpenVPN I had set up. I switched OS and have not had a single reboot issue since. I will monitor this issue and report back if I continue having issues. It’s been over a week now with no reboots.
