Router is resetting itself at a random time

Hello, I need some help. I bought this router week ago and since day one it keeps resetting at a random time.

I read many posts on the website. They were very helpful. I connected the routed directly to the power outlet. I uploaded latest firware, and reset it to the factory condition. After a day of working well, it started to reset again.

Please let me know what else I can do to fix this issue.

Thank you,

  • If you're already tried a factory reset the only other thing I'd try would be installing version 1.0.9.42 of the firmware. some r7000's actually performed worse on the newer firmwares.

    Try instalilng the .42 firmware over a hardwired connection, factory reset again, then do a clean install (not from backup). Disable auto updates. See how it works. 

    If its still rebooting, I'd bring it back.
