Be sure you are using the power adapter that came with the router. Also be sure you are using good quality Ethernet cable. Press and hold the button for 10-15 seconds. If you are able to sign on to the router, there may be an option to do the factory reset. Also what kind of lights are you getting when you try resetting?

After you do a factory reset, you need to re-enter all of your settings including the WIFI settings.

 

Are you able to sign on to the router with a PC connected to the router via Ethernet?
