They also make usb/ethernet adapters.
When you reset, did you push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on?
If so, the wifi should be the default ssid on the sticker.

I don’t have a way to hardwire test it, if I have to go out and buy a usb/Ethernet port I might as well just exchange the router and go with Google NestHave you tried using a different device?
Not sure what else to tell you. there limited ways in which we can help if you're not willing to hardwire into it and you can't connect via wireless.
- Ugh I’m an idiot and forgot the network name would be reset after resetting the router. Not my brightest day. Things are back up and running after the reset for 15 seconds and making sure I’m connecting to the default network name!
Glad you got it back up and running!
