Slate 7 often reboot

Routers
1

Hi,
my Slate 7 is rebooting multible times a day.
I‘m on version 4.7.3.
Activated is WLan 2.4 / 5 / MLD uplink is 2.4 and openVPN.

Any ideas what causes the reboots.
The air condition is running and the device is placed in the airflow.

Are you using a factory power supply, or a standard PD power supply?

I‘m using a external power supply. The router is connected to the 100W output. No other devices are connected during the reboot times. Over night our mobile phones are charging at the 65W outputs.

Mine also reboots but I'm running a lot of packages mainly netify. I do have a script to keep netify incheck for memory but mine also reboots. I've sent the logs to Dev.
I'm using a nonstandard USB C as well. But it has enough Watts.

I wrote a post about the importance of the power supply on slate 7, [https://wickedyoda.com/?p=2958](https://Why Power Delivery Matters on the Slate 7 (GL-BE3600): Avoid USB Device Failures)

Please try to connect the factory power supply for the Slate 7, let us narrow down the scope of troubleshooting, to see if the router own hardware works well.

The router works with the factory power supply like a charm. I suppose the external one has voltage drops. Likely, I had the factor power supply with me in the hotel.
Is the router enabled to detect voltage changes and can report them?

There is a power management chip, but it does not support be reported.

I think if it is connected a standard PD protocol power supply and provides enough power, Slate 7 will theoretically be able to normal operation.
