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. ...

I used the paper clip to reset my router.

 

Thank you

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
