This is how you could set the channel reaver -i mon0 -b F8:7B:7A:69:9F:0F -c <channel> -vv might work a little better at least it will be more targeted.

These are the commands I put into the terminal on my laptop.

This is what it says after brute forcing it

Edit: It's been almost 5 years since this question was asked.

Question

What causes Reaver to be hanged up on beacon? Could it be a software problem with Linux itself? Can it be the security used in the network? What is it?
