Cannot factory reset router

I'm trying to do a factory reset on a DGND3700. I've done what the manual says, but still no luck. Any ideas?

You can return the wireless modem router to its factory settings. On the bottom of the wireless modem router, use the end of a paper clip or some other similar object to press and hold the Restore Factory Settings button for at least 7 seconds.

Thank you. That and the one at the bottom look promising in case I need to go that far.

I actually opened it up and after "playing" with the reset button managed to factory reset it a few times. It wasn't easy and I couldn't figure out if I was pressing too hard, not hard enough or simply just not right. It appears to be a flaky reset switch but I'm not sure. At this point I have a 25% success rate with that reset method. And at least one of the times I was able to get it up and running the way I needed. So far so good.
