WN3000RP will not factory reset

I am trying to factory reset my WN3000rp using the button. I have tried holding it down for 10sec, 30sec, 1min but none work. Currently its hooked up to my existing network and I want to wipe clean and start afresh. 

Someone suggested holding 30sec while on, then turn off and continue holding reset and plug back in holding the reset. That didnt work either. 

 

Any suggestions? I have read other posts on not pressing down correctly, but I can clearly hear the click of the button.

    That should do a factory reset maybe try updating the unit to the latest firmware and try the factory reset again.
