Not true at all. If you use the exact same SSID and password when you reset, your IoT devices will reconnect automatically. When your router was running satisfactory, did you happen to save off a configuration file? Maybe you should explore that option as it makes a firmware default reset reasonably easy to configure by importing a previous configuration file.
Agree, attempting to configure or trouble shoot a gateway using a mobile device application is a waste of time.
