What do you mean it should disconnect me from the interface? I have used an XR500 for like 3 years and have never been disconnected from doing a speedtest within the interface. Not only am I being disconnected from the interface with the 'connection benchmark' utility, but if I run a speed test on for example Ookla or Google Speed test the same message is shown to me. Makes me think the XR1000 is struggling to a simple speed test.
Also do you have any info on the "Thursday, Jan 01,1970 00:00:00" message being printed in the logs over and over?

By design it will disconnect you from the internet, not the interface when running the test. Interesting, what time does the System Information page show? If it is the same it could be causing the issues, make sure the time zone is correct/adjust for DST if needed and verify it is correct, reboot from the interface, wait 4 minutes then see if you can reproduce the issue

Well it disconnecting me also causes the 'connection benchmark' utility to fail. I really do not think that is the way it is supposed to work. System Information Page shows the correct time of GMT.
with it also crashing when I do a speed test on Ookla makes me believe the unit cannot handle the processing of the speed test. - Netduma-FraserFeb 02, 2026NetDuma Partner
What settings have you changed from their defaults? Particularly in settings?
