It definately shouldnt be rebooting that many times.Just a few questions..How long ago did you get it?Did you install it yourself? or a tech do it? How are devices connecting to it... wired?...

Thx for the quick reply. I'm not using it for wireless, as I have another AP, so both bands are off.Since I've moved it vertically, it isn't even warm. Odd that it would make that much difference.

Hard to say.. a line drop could cause it to keep restarting to try and regain it.Otherwise could be bad hardware. I have had mine for a few months now.. mind you i dont use the wireless on it (have my...
