Would if I could is probably the most accurate reply to your suggestion of resetting to factory defaults... 

There is no reset procedure that I can find anywhere... and I have looked. I have searched Sierra Wireless and Netgear documents and manuals, I have looked at FCC documents. I have looked at user posted hig resolution images of the AC330U internals and there is no button of any form you can press to reset (contrary to many posts that talk about hard reset on the device). I can find no way in the included Rogers watcher program nor the Netgear Watcher program (Windows, haven't tried Mac). 

 

So if you are aware of some way to accomplish this factory reset I am all ears...
