XR1000 syntaxerror+logs+saved settings

Ok guys, I'm honestly tired of this game I've been playing for months now. Received new xr1000 replacement router from factory. Has been in use less than 3 weeks, still getting these January 24th dated logs , factory reset only seems to erase passwords and network names, I have as of right this moment, performed 3 factory resets AND fresh firmware installations this morning to attempt to get the syntax error to go away so I can utilize the interfaces device monitor. Is there somewhere else this router saves settings ie. my pc, Netgears servers ect. that needs to be erased???? Do I need to request a different router from you guys?? Is there a better , newer version with less issues? How on earth did this router get through test at Netgear? Does anyone at Netgear actually have real-world experience using the XR1000?? I understand it's not a "plug and play" set up, but my God, if it's not one thing it's another with this model. I need some REAL help with this thing, not a factory reset not a reboot not a "we'll pass it on" with no answer for months but some actual help. So please, for the love of God, can I get in contact with someone who knows what they're actually talking about so I can fix this (now my second in less than a year) XR1000????

  • Are these log entries causing problems? 

     

    Not much can be done with FW changes here in the forums. This would be beyond forum help.

      Logs are for (in my experience) showing data and failed/completed processes by the network or router. If I knew what the logs meant, I could probably figure out the issue, but, that information far as I can tell, is non existent , hence my question. I'm not asking for new FW either, I'm asking if it's the XR1000 that's the issue and is there another more reliable option I should go to.

        Please post a snippet capture of what the logs are showing. Please remove any MAC addresses before posting. 

  • Looking back at your posts you mentioned the Jan 24th logs before and I said to change the timezone to get that appearing correctly, does that work? I can't see any previous reference to a syntax error, could you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing exactly please?

        Did that resolve the date issue then?

        For the error, are you forcing a connect to the interface using HTTPS? Even if you're not specifically your browser might be, e.g. Safari does this, could you force HTTP just in case and see if the error goes?
