Zyxel VMG8924-B10A rebooting

redamo:
Once the honeymoon was over with my shiny (not so) new Zyxel, it started misbehaving as in doing spontaneous reboots, almost daily. There's nothing in the logs. Actually, I can't see the logs as they seem be erased upon restart. The time is also reset :no:. But the configuration is, oddly, retained. ??? So far, I've tried swapping the power supply with another 12V/2A from my old HH6, and I've removed anything that was not absolutely needed from the config, 5GHz WiFi, shares/print/etc. It works as modem+router+AP though.
Any ideas where to go next? I'm afraid that with so many restarts, I'll be back to my 35Mb capped line. I might try next to configure a syslog server, maybe I'll be able to capture anything interesting before the spontaneous reboot. I'll keep an eye on memory as well. Any idea how to kill/remove smbd and voiceApp, looks like the kill command is not available.

cosrush:
Do you think it would be worth reflashing the firmware?

I've got my remote syslog server up and running, if nothing meaningful shows up in the logs before the reboot, I guess this would be my final call (reflashing).
