XR1000s lock weekly or stop displaying administration pages.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch with a wired PC and web browser. https://kb.netgear.com/22697/How-do-I-install-my-NETGEAR-router-using-the-router-web-interface
Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset has been completed: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.

Verizon 5G, White Cube, Model:ASK-NCQ1338FA. 300 meg down 20 meg up. (Put an older netgear in place of one of XR1000 router it has run a month solid just as a test)
DHCP is not running on either router, Factory reset has been done on both routers. Both routers exhibit this, doesn't matter, usually just a day or two apart.
My DHCP is set to (not running on the router, is set to start at 25 - 235): The 1st 25 are reserved for my servers and the DHCP server etc.. The later I do not use often,
VPN is only ingress, I do not use a VPN for outgoing. Just used to connect from home.

Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
https://kb.netgear.com/30187/How-to-fix-issues-with-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers
https://kb.netgear.com/24086/How-do-I-set-up-a-default-DMZ-server-on-my-Nighthawk-router
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Try option #2 first...Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.

Sorry tried to go back and edit my 1st post to add this to the config, but it would not let me edit it.
- Router is setup in the DMZ
- Netgear IP is reserved
- Verizon modem is setup for DHCP.
Tried bridge mode, that had no affect as well. Been fighting this since January, currently stable when not on the XR100, but trying to resolve it as I would like netduma QOs back and retire the old netgear modem, I brought out of retirement ;-).
