I was going to say the thought of an old setting makes sense, but that's an unfortunate recommendation, that I have to wipe out everything. Configuring a network is time consuming. There should be more elegant solutions to this. Essentially this means that my configuration is rendered a problematic every time I upgrade firmware.
What do you think about comparing pre upgrade and post upgrade configuration files side by side to find this bad line? Is there any other approach to debugging this?

If you're interested here is a good explanation of why it is recommended and why you shouldn't restore a backup: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/faq-nvram-and-factory-default-reset.22822/
In terms of comparing the backup files I don't think it is a readable format, I don't have an XR at hand currently to double check. Even if it is, it's probably not going to be apparent what would cause the issue. For example, if something is removed/changed between versions and you've saved an old/removed setting then trying to restore that would cause a problem.

Today I finally restored my router to factory defaults after a firmware update, and I'm still having the same problem. Every page displays this stupid error.
