Cann't reset my Flint3

Routers
1

Hi team,

It seems my Flint 3 might have been compromised, so I decided to do a full reset. I downloaded the v4.8.1 firmware from the official site and performed a clean reinstall via the Web GUI (unchecked “Keep Settings”).

After reinstalling, the router works fine for internet access, but:

  1. WireGuard no longer functions properly — even after setting it up again manually, clients can connect but have no traffic (TX/RX stuck at 0).

  2. The hardware reset button doesn’t work anymore — holding it for 10, 20, or even 30 seconds only makes the LED flash blue/white, but the router never actually resets.

Could you please advise how to fix the hardware reset and restore WireGuard functionality?
Is there a way to force a true factory reset (e.g., via U-Boot or SSH)?

Thank you for your help!
