AX50 asks to set admin password again

Bought the Archer AX50 two weeks ago (in Taiwan). There are a few niggling issues with this router that will hopefully be sorted out in future firmwares (logs and real time traffic monitor don't seem to work/accurate, high CPU with fairly normal use, memory gets to 65% with just around 10 intermittent clients) but this is a big one - and it has happened twice now:
1. Every few days (< 7 day as the router is set to auto-reboot weekly) the router administration interface would revert to asking you to "create an administrator password to manage your Wireless Router Archer AX50" (see screencap below; notice how the model and firmware version doesn't appear in that bottom banner area as per normal).
2. Entering a new password does not work - the interface just hangs.
3. Using the Tether app (as opposed to browing directly to its IP) shows the weird occurence of 2 routers, one AX50 and the other 'Unknown' (see screen cap below). Clicking on AX50 goes to a screen that says 'Logging in to Archer AX50' and then a pop up that says 'Unable to connect to the device, please try again'.
4. Internet and internal network seems to still work fine; but very annoying that this won't be resolved until a physical reboot.
Current workaround would be to set the auto-reboot to daily frequency, but this is really not something one should do a reboot for!
