Yes I could and did try answering questions by those attempting to help. However, in the 2 hours and 35 minutes between the question and your post suggesting I respond, I was sleeping.
NG provided a set up "genie" and that was used to set up R7000. I do not remember altering or choosing "settings" and am not sure how to restore "factory settings". Also, when I searched NG website I did not see any instructions regarding "resetting" factory settings. I did see NG stating I would need to pay for help with any problem. Maybe I should have ignored that and kept looking for answers there. There was no obvious path to help on NG pages.
The R7000 has a reset button at the back. Push it until power LED starts to blink
