So I bought my AX6000 about a month ago as I had a new internet connection installed and today have finally gotten around to setting up my USB NAS.

It's a 5 bay externally powered hard drive bay that's plugged into the USB port of the router. If it's connected all of the drives show up fine, I can see them and read/write to them on my macbook, gaming PC and steam deck as well as my Mac sees it fine for time machine and lets me setup a backup to one of the drive that I designated for it.

The issue arises whenever I start trying to write to any of the drives connected, after about 5 minutes, sometimes even less, the router will just reboot taking down the wifi and network connectivity. Doesn't seem to matter if it's a time machine backup copying a lot of small files or copying a single massive file it will reboot within 5 minutes or so.

While the top is warm to the touch, it doesn't feel any warmer than under normal operation and has never rebooted having 4+ devices fully utilizing the gigabit internet connection that I have

So far I've tried:

-Turning wifi transmit power to low

-Turning off QOS

-Turning wifi completely off

-Having only my time machine hard drive in the drive bay

-Tried both the USB C port and the USB A port

-Disconnecting all devices other than my macbook

-Factory resetting the router

Doesn't seem to matter what I do, it just doesn't want to last longer than that and I'm at a loss for what else to do
