If I am going to do a factory reset, do I need to reset the router and all satellites using the physical reset buttons, or just use the admin return to factory settings button on the software? I did the software route before, and it didn't impact any of the issues I was having. Do I update the firmware on the router and satellites before or after the reset?
I answered all this questions before on the DNS issues and didn't seem to be causing any problems. Router is in router mode, spectrum ISP, 6000 sq foot house with about 35ish feet in between satellites now (both are wired, but seeing same issue when I pop out the ethernet cable), neighbor WiFis aren't close enough to show up consistently on my devices as options, Never used Circle or Armour. I can try the other options after the reset, but hope I don't have to turn off IP6 (that's one of the reasons I bought the router).
Thanks for the help!!
