RBR50v2 Reinitializes Firmware Daily and Restarts
Every day or so my RBR50v2 reboots without warning. It takes a few minutes for all sats to resync. This has become a problem for my work-from-home situation.
Every time when i check the log after a reboot I see a message similar to this, suggesting a new firmware has been installed resulting in a reboot. However it's always the same message and firmware version: (with new date ofc):
[Initialized, firmware version: V2.7.4.24] Saturday, November 19, 2022 12:35:07
I've had this router since 2020 and it has been on V2.7.4.24 for months without problem before this. No idea why a the device would re-initialize the firmware now and repeatedly.
So far I've connected by wire to the device and performed a manual firmware update to V2.7.4.24, which completed successfully. However the problem continues.
My next step would be a factory reset, but before I go through that hassle I thought I'd check if there's any knowledge of this issue that could guide me.
Any ideas?

Re: RBR50v2 Reinitializes Firmware Daily and Restarts
Something might have gotten corrupted either in the firmware or the settings.
I'd reinstall the firmware then do a factory reset and reinstall.
If somethings corrupt, reinstalling firmware and factory resetting should clear it out.
