Hi,

 

I have an issue with my XR700 constantly factory resetting, whenever it is restarted. We use this router for robotics applications, so it is constantly moving around. This would not be a big issue if loading configurations would work, but after loading a saved configuration, it seems to reboot and thus lose all of its settings.

 

I tried many things to fix this issue. I checked that the reset button is not stuck, I downgraded the firmware and then upgraded again to the most recent version, and I tried several factory resets. At this point, I am not sure what to try. I would try to return the router, but it was purchased by the university and thus it is very difficult to work with them to make returns for such small purchases.

 

If you have any idea how this issue can be resolved, please let me know. One other issue that I am having is that sometimes, the router setup (which I have to do every time the device is powered on) is extremely slow. As in, it takes several minutes to go from one page to the other.
