RS600 dropping connection, rebooting randomly...
I've had this RS 600 and it's been terrible. Very inconsistent wifi speeds, I tried manually changing channels, and the 5g line kept dropping out.
Then today, the entire router crashed and was down for 5 minutes during a critical internet call.
I'm on an experimental firmware 1.0.5.113
I spent a LOT on this router to get something reliable... and so far, this is not being that.

Also, I just checked and all logs associated with the event, are gone. Only log that exists is after the router re-initialized, this makes it impossible to understand what went wrong.

Try a factory reset and setup from scratch with a wired PC and web browser?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.Is IPv6 and Protection Engine enabled on the router? If so, disable both.

Perhaps contact the person who gave you the experimental firmware?
