Stephen, thanks for the reply.... Yes the NAS time is sync'd with the recommended netgear.com servers.
If I shut the NAS down, could I remove the 4 drives, power the NAS up, do the factory reset, shut the NAS down again, then reinstall the drives and power it back up?

No. The operating system is on the drives. A factory reset reformats the drives and does a fresh factory install onto them. It's not possible to do it w/o drives in place, so you'll need to back up the data, and restore it after the reset if you try this.
First I suggest downloading the full log zip file, and asking the mods to review it. Upload the zip into cloud storage (google, dropbox, etc). Then send a private message (PM) to the mods with a link to the logs,and ask them to review ( JohnCM_S or Marc_V ). Don't post them publicly. You send a PM by clicking on the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
