That is expected. When you reset to factory defaults, you destroy the WiFi credentials. The device will go into AP mode allowing you to connect via your phone or tablet. You can then enter new WiFi credentials.

Im my case the AP mode came up briefly but it quickly went away because the board rebooted as you can see in the logs. After further investigation if was a power issue. Powering the dig octa via a USB isolator made that strange deadlock situation :-( Powering directly does not produce the issue.
