Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

I've set up start and end times, and have checked the "Turn off wireless signal by schedule" box.
Although the box does turn off then on at the correct times, with corresponding correct log entires, we're also seeing the wireless signal turn OFF then ON at many other times during the day, and this is shown in the log, although the OFF time is marked with an incorrect time whereas the ON time is marked with the correct time. Note these incorrect OFF then ON events and log entries do not match the OFF/ON schedule showing in the wirelss settings gui.
This R7000 is running V1.0.11.126_10.2.112 firmware.
Hi FURRYe38 , I'm not sure if I ever updated the FW in this R700, although it does seem to be running what was the latest FW when I started this thread. It would be very unfortunate if a factory reset were required after a FW update, rather than just a power cycle, but a quick google does show it's recommended. Seems pretty drastic.
I would have to learn how to save the config before doing a factory reset.
Do you by any chance know if there's a way to check if a FW update was ever done?
Well you reported in your first post:
"This R7000 is running V1.0.11.126_10.2.112 firmware"
Which is one version behind: v1.0.11.128
A reset is sometimes a valid step to help figure out issues and can lead to solved problems. Sometimes configurations can be hosed up after a FW update or configurations on prior versions are not fully compatible with new versions of FW. Maybe drastic but sometimes a necessary evil.
Looks like v1.0.11.128 was released yesterday. Portwey84 mentioned it just got released. I just checked the notes for the new release - looks like only a security fix.
But googling v1.0.11.126_10.2.112 shows there are other NTP problems in this FW, that were not there in the previous release, so maybe they might have fixed some of those issues without listing it in the notes.
Someting to try.
I would do a reset as well if you update to 128 and setup from scratch....
