LAN Issues and Slow Geo-filter

Despite at least one factory reset, rolling back the firmware and setting static IPs, I continue to have issues with the LAN connections which are direct from router to an xbox one x and a desktop computer. I have to reset the router frequently to get them reconnected to the internet. Factory resetting is a slow and painful process with this equipment and I'd rather not unless I absolutely have to!

Also experiencing very slow geofilter while pinging the server or peer whileplaying xbox. I get the "spinning beachball" for long periods. Many times no peers or servers are displayed on the map.

Specs below:

Model XR700

Firmware v1.0.1.10

Fios Gateway Modem - Gigspeed

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance for your help

Note: Make sure you perform a factory reset right after you update your firmware.

  Thank you for the quick response. Will I need to factory reset with the beta firmware too. Such a pain to reset with a fios modem! Thanks.
