"doing" how, exactly? "0.9.34" or "1.0.9.34" (and so on)?

Not a clear description of what you did, or what happened when you
did it. I'd expect the reset button to have a greater effect when the
router is not powered off.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Factory Settings".

If the r7000 is within return window do it. Get something else from a different manufacturer as Netgear does not seem to be able to put out a good firmware build for any of the popular routers right now. They used to be solid vendor and my go to, now I stay away from and have sold my r8000 and r8000p and moved on to different vendor.

Still true.
Thank you antinode,
It did work with your last suggestion. The router is back and running fine.
