Glad the reset worked. If see DNS errors or issues, enable IPv6 and set to auto. Should help resolve that.

I will do the factory reset after I capture all the settings as I will need to manually reinput them. I will update after I do all of that.

test it before you put all your settings in.
Just put in enough settings to get a connection to the internet. Then test wired/wireless devices.
If it works then but not after you've put in your settings, something you're entering is causing the issue

Also recommend don't enable Armor, Circle or Traffic Meter.
