RAX120 V2 Constant Random Reboots
The router reboots frequently sometimes every 30 minutes. I have noticed that the router reboots under heavy system load of +50% on the processor. The only way I have been able to drastically lesse...
- Installed beta firmware 1.2.3.33 on it and then turn fan on in debug.htm. Just check mark it , don’t click on apply.
And bought a cool pad from amazon $10 . 4 days in a row no restart and router works perfect.

Ok, thanks for letting us know. Ya seems to bet more then just the power adapter.
Thank you for updating us on your experience with the new firmware in relation to the reandom reboots.
I had the router running for 24 hours without a reboot yesterday, when I was not working and could afford a random reboot. While the router has not rebooted on me, my impression was that the issue of variable internet connection speeds has resurfaced in this new firmware.
The clients - both wired and wireless were seemingly taking more time than usual to load webpages, photos and videos.
I, therefore, followed the same path as muniz_ri and packed the router into its box, until its fixed to the point that I won't feel ashamed of myself to sell it on. Clearly the feeling that the Netgear company does not seem to share.
- Same here. Reboots without warning with new firmware. Factory reset and everything done as well. Factory power adapter as well. I'm thinking of opening this up and checking solder joints as replacement is close to impossible. And I've moved on to the archer ax11000.
New firmware didn't change anything. The router is still randomly reboots.
