Nighthawk r6700 has began resetting to defaults at least once per week

FW version V1.0.2.16_10.0.57. My modem has begun resetting to defaults once per week.  It is on a UPS and the power is stable.  I wonder if I should go back to a older FW release?  I am out of warren...

Prior to downgrading, I'd reinstall the firmware to it, then do a factory reset and reinstall. 

if that doesn't help, then I'd try the factory reset.

    Hello,

    Thank you. I did do a few manual resets, however I have not tried reinstalling the current release of software.  Thank you, I will try this.
