RANDOM FACTORY RESETS!
Hey all
This XR1000 has been a nightmare. Long story short. My router is literally factory resetting at random times. If my power goes out it hard rests and deletes EVERYTHING. Also if I unplug it or reboot it factory resets as well. I have to start from scratch name the WiFi and connect all my devices again. Is this a known problem? Any solutions ? Is there a way to back everything up and just upload it back to make things easier for now ? This has been a nightmare!

- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerMake your settings changes then reboot from the interface, this should act as a hard save so if its unplugged at a later date or loses power etc settings should be saved
- botzz28TutorWhat do you mean make settings change to hard save ? Can you explain a little further? I had to reconnect my entire house 2-3 times already I’m going crazy lol thank you !
- Netduma-FraserNetDuma Partner1. Change the router settings how you want them set.
2. Reboot from the interface - this will act as a hard save
