if you reboot your computer, you aren't getting a new computer, you are just restarting it

What a reboot means in fiction has a firmly established definition.

I agree that it isn't the ideal term, it should have been a better one, but it is the one that stuck.

The new show is definitely not a reboot or remake. Though obviously it's not a revival either. Whether it will be a re-imagining can't be ruled out yet, but everything announced about it so far points to a straight-up sequel.
