I have a Nighthawk AX12 12-stream AX6000 wifi router. Reset my router back to factory settings
I reset my router back to factory setting but when I log into my wireless network, I still see my older wifi name and can still log into them. Why isn't the factory reset erasing all of my networks.
Thank you
Corey

Was that with the "push button" (paperclip in the back) move or using a web browser and the graphical user interface (GUI)?

I used the paper clip to reset my router.
Thank you
Corey
did you push and hold it for up to 15 seconds while powered on? I've seen people do it powered off or only clicking the button and not holding it
