ASUS RT-BE92U

I would just return if you can and exchange right away. If you are on latest firmware, are running with minimal config/services, and it's still rebooting, it's got be be a problem with the unit.

I agree, sadly I bought it from Best Buy and am already past the return window.

ASUS support should be your next contact. They may want you to return it to their service center after a bit of debugging.

Mine is working just fine so far. BE92U AsusWRT non pro UI VLAN restrictions investigations lead me to homelab rabbit hole. So I acquired additional Chinese n5105 CPU based box with intention to run dedicated opnsense transparent firewall (zenarmor) in BRIDGE mode between my ISP and BE92U.
Installed it yesterday and it appears to be working. Using zenarmor free tier ver without opnsense build in IDS/IPS setup atm. Switched AIProtection off. TrendMicro is probably better than zenarmor free tier but I'd also like to implement later CrowdSec.
onpsense of course is providing full VLAN feature set in router mode so entire story most likely for me will end up demoting BE92U to wifi AP role. Not the best investment Still based Asus HW reliability reports it doesn't hurt to have 2 router boxes around.

New Firmware Released (3.0.0.6.102_37500).
I have installed and MLO appears to be stable so far. DOT is causing intermittent issues, so I disabled it. Not seeing the memory leak so far.

MLO has reared its old ugly effect of making things unstable. Had to do a reset.
Best to keep MLO off.

So on reset, I ended up with the following combination:

Smart Connect ON for 2.4/5/6 for 3 devices
MLO OFF
1 IOT Network with 35 devices
2 wired devices.

RAM used is steady at 70%

I’m going to let it run a few days to assess stability before I try to put the IoT on a separate network range and see what types of problems arise.

high ram usage is normal. Its happened on most NAS, routers that running Linux system. Most of the ram occupied will be released if needed by the system.

I'm happy to report that my issue with random rebooting is now resolved. It turns out the problem was not the router at all. It was an intermittent failure of the UPS that the router was plugged into. Kind of frustrating, but I am glad that I figured out the cause and that is was not a defective router.

nice for you to come back and post the real issue maker..it's kinda funny the ups is doing the malice..are you sure it's not made by tp-link? YOU HAD ONE JOB

edit: no issues with mine since day 1 after i've configured it (MLO off, QoS enabled, all wifi bands enabled)
