Xr1000 internet works but constant flashing amber light
So basically I have BT 900mbps internet. My connection is PPOE. Everytime i turn the router on or off I have to manually setup the router everytime. Creating password etc and it’s odd. But right now the internet works but the power light is flashing amber. My speeds are fine but I just have a constant amber light. Can someone help me. Internet working but constant flashing amber light. Thanks.

Good advice above, you're having to re-do everything as you're unplugging it and haven't done a reboot from the interface first which acts as a hard save, do that after you've changed settings and it shouldn't happen again.
Re: Xr1000 internet works but constant flashing amber light
When you finish the setup wizard and go through to the main interface have you changed any settings? If not do that, reboot from the interface, then wait a few hours or so before unplugging it - if you're trying to reboot either doing so from the interface or using the button on the back is best.
Re: Xr1000 internet works but constant flashing amber light
this is not correct. My router does not hard save anything. every time i turn it off or perform reset or unplug i have to set it up as new router every time. I have had my router installed now for over a week and i have internet but the power light is always flashing amber. i am on the XR1000 1.0.0.68_1.0.54 update which is the latest one. i cant access geo filter on app as it said cant sync cloud. if i turn off router and back on, it will set up completely, nothing hard saves. There is defo a problem with my router.

my isp is BT and i use a PPoe connection. i connected the dsl cable from the BT ont to the internet/wan port on my NG. is this correct? something just isnt right. i have internet connection but cant use the features i wanna use
Re: Xr1000 internet works but constant flashing amber light
Just to clarify, once you change settings you have rebooted the router from the interface?
You said a DSL cable, do you definitely mean a DSL cable (RJ11)? If so, you have the correct port on the XR but it needs to be an ethernet cable (RJ45) that connects to the ONT and would explain why you can't use the features properly.

Make your settings changes, then leave it completely for 2 hours, reboot from the interface, top right rather than though the settings pages then check, has it still reverted?
Re: Xr1000 internet works but constant flashing amber light
Do you have the router connected to a power extender or direct to an outlet? If an extender could you do an outlet, repeat the process above and see if it works please?
Re: Xr1000 internet works but constant flashing amber light
I think you may have a faulty unit then, I can't see any other reason so far as to why it would be resetting every time you reboot. Depending on warranty it may be best to pursue a replacement with Netgear directly or exchange it with the retailer you purchased it from.
