XR700 - Factory resets itself after reboot

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

Lets do this first to see if new FW will correct this\:.

Factory reset the XR router. 

Connect a wired PC to the XR router. 

After skipping the setup wizard and setup new PW, log in and send the following update to the XR router:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/New-XR700-v1-0-1-10-Firmware-Available/td-p/1722902/jump-to/first-unread-message

After the FW file is sent, do one more factory reset and setup from scratch. 

Report your findings.

Does the XR700 have a self-destruction mode? I'm serious, this thing has been nothing but issues.  If anyone can help I would greatly appreciated. 

 

Issues so far in order of appearance: (i updated the firmware as they would come out - I believe I received it with V1.0.1.2)

List of issues: 

1) Devices would disconnect and reconnect (1st month of use)

2) The router would reboot itself constantly (at least twice a day) (second month of use)

3) Updated to the latest firmware = 70% of my devices can't connect to it (Amazon EchoDot, etc) (third month of use)

and now, the worst one of all:

4) a simple reboot resets to factory default settings! No matter what firmware I use.

Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this before I trash it? 

 

ps - I've done all the obvious and million factory resets and firmware upgrades and downgrades. Currently back to V1.0.1.2. - issues number 1, 2 and 4 still present. 

THANK YOU!
