DIRECTV Streamer stuck on update

After I set up 1  of 3 Streamer boxes 1, I did not have Ethernet access  is stuck at trying to check for updates then it says problem try later keeps doing this. Is there a way to reset box to factory settings as I ran a cable to it now but it still keeps doing this?

Hold the red button on the box down for about 20 seconds and the box will do a factory reset.

Then it did not reset. Also are you using WiFi or ethernet connection for the update? Been some reports of issues with updates via WiFi. Try updating using ethernet.

Do not have Ethernet available…only have wireless WiFi.  Now what!
