Orbi RBK763S - Costco - Replacing RBK53

After the most recent FW was pushed to my devices (without me having any say in the matter), my entire RBK53 system is dysfunctional, replacing multiple devices IP addresses with IP starting '172.'  ...

Try pressing the reset button for 1 minute. Or might try the 30/30/30 reset method and see. 

Sounds like something on the RBR50 is not right.

Other than the safety pin/wait for amber flashing light, any other 'factory reset' methods you can suggest if the official one clearly isn't working?

Sure, I can try that 30-30-30 approach.
Should I do this with the satellites also?
thanks

    20 seconds should be good enough for them.
