    So, here is the solution:

    Use paper clip to hold down the reset button for 10 seconds.
    Router Restarts
    Use wired device to connect to router at 192.168.1.1
    Wait
    Go through the new setup process as all of your settings gone.
    Rebuild your router like you took it out of the box.
    Hope it keeps working (not a lot of faith this problem won't happen again)


    I already had the menu go into infinite wait screen and trying to reconnect the IP wasn't accessible.  Power cycled and was able to get back in.

    All I changed was a device name on the wired network (changed Playstation to Playstation 5 in the description, not device name, it did take effect though)

    So....    there we go.  

    Thanks for all the help Netgear (sarcasm)
