R7000 1.0.9.x reboot cycle
My R7000 was bricked. After finally figuring out how to configure Terminal on MacOS to let me Ctrl-C the boot process so I could turn tftpd on, I can now reflash the firmware. Every version of the 1.0.9.x firmware that I've tried so far, inluding 1.0.9.6, 1.0.9.10, 1.0.9.26, 1.0.9.34, 1.0.9.64 (latest) continually reboots upon startup; presumably from a software crash. Not sure what is going on. I guess this wny so many people said "don't upgrade your firmware".
I spent way too much time on this. :-(
Yes! I ordered a new power adapter. This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWHS8G2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And now the R7000 is working again.
So, if you think your firmware upgrade is causing your constant reboot cycle, it might just be your power supply. OMG.

Just installed 1.0.8.34 and it came up all the way. Then rebooted after 15 seconds. Ugh. I'm enormously frustrated.
Downgraded firmware to 1.0.7.12_1.2.5 and it's been running for 5 minutes so far. It's a record. Letting it run now...
Any clues why this is happening R7000 people?
The router reboots when I connect a wifi device with firmware 1.0.7.12. Downgrading to 1.0.7.10. What version should I be using or is there some proceedure I'm missing?
