  @Hozzybear Sometimes a factory reset is needed after a major firmware update.

update to latest firmware again but do it by uploading manually the downloaded firmware via the router portal. That fixed it for me today

  @Joseph-TP  This only worked temporarily, or didn't work at all. Rebooting still persists. Please fast track an update to fix this.

Hi  @Joseph-TP 

 

Yes, still experiencing auto reboots. Can be non-stop once the router is powered on. However, the reboots stop once I disconnect my external hard drive that I usually have plugged in. Reboots seem to restart once i plug it in again. Also my hard drive was plugged in when i updated the firmware the first time. Could this be the issue? Beta software received, will update and share feedback,

 

Thanks!
