Due to the feedback in post #47, for now I will skip the beta firmware, because I don't want to make the issue worse than now. Will wait for an official release.

@icovelev I downloaded the beta October last year. It fixed all the issues. It's been 6 months so not sure how long you'd be waiting. Up to you of course, but I would just apply the beta now. Good luck

Which version of the router you are using? V1 or V2. I know that for V2 there was a fix, but from what i have read the beta for V1 haven't fixed the issue and I am using V1 router.

@icovelev I have the V2 router. Was rebooting all the time. The beta software 1.0.12 Build 20231023 rel.42641 did fix my issue
TP do seem a little slow at fixing things

Yesterday i decided to pull the trigger on the beta firmware, prepared with a replacement router, if the beta is worse 
. Now 25 hours later with the beta, the router still hasn't restart. Will keep updated if it crashes again. Please let me know how to obtain debug logs in such case.

@Sunshine I have v1.6 and wondering if the beta firmware will also fix the rebooting issue (I have 2 extenders in the house and my router reboots daily). Also, I'm not seeing the links to the beta drivers for v1.6.
Thanks.

@Sunshine didn't touch the firmware on the router but did unplug the AX 1800 WiFi extender and my router has not restarted in 16 hours.
The other extender RE 505X still plugged in and fine.
