    I have several RAK 1W and haven’t had software related reboots. I’ve seen them reboot due to insufficient power though. At some point I fed our balcony node with an outdoors USB-C PSU along with a battery and it hasn’t rebooted since. So yours might be a power issue too.

      I had tried all my power sources and even tried powering the transmitter block using a second supply without luck. Thinking about it, the issue wasn’t reboots, it seems like it would get stuck and the heartbeat light would stop flashing (sometimes on, sometimes off) and then I’d have to reset for it to work again. It was cool seeing the range it had whenever I could get it to work for 30 minutes lol

        Interesting. I’d say it may be defective. I guess a software update would resolve if the unit is bad or software issue. Data point for when you get to test - I have 4 units total, ran them with 2.7.15 for a while (not all at the same time) and now at 2.8.2. No issues with these versions of Meshtastic after fixing that power situation.
