asus RT-AX86u random reboots, wan light red

[jbee90]

my router has been randomly rebooting and then all lights come back with the wan led going off, a couple of seconds later it turns red, this just happened five times within an hour. i am running merlin 386.7_2 how can i tell if i am being hacked?

Unlikely to be hacking. Look in the router's System Log for clues as to the reason.

You may want to check the power supply/input voltage. The router will reboot if the voltage drops.

Sure. Or put it on pastebin.com, whatever's easiest.

i never had this problem before and my set up is the same with my router plugged into a apc power bar, i did add a device to my wifi, is it possible that the laptop can force my router to shut down? i do have flex qos and ai protection enabled
