I have first tried plugged into my router with an Ethernet cable. Can’t seem to get passed the blinking white light stage. I tried resetting it again to try the wifi setup without any luck either. it just seems stuck at the blinking white light stage. Any way I can reset this by other means than just the reset button? thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated.    

Hi, All below given your network is 2.4 Ghz and not limited at 5 Ghz. I could be wrong but as much as the WiFi is really unreliable on those things, I believe the electronics are quite strong. I would advocate for a software error. First thing I would try is to check the Playmaker shows up on the network when wired. You can use any tool built in on your system, any command line or any utilities around (Who's on my WIFI, IP Scanner,…). If it shows up you'll get the IP adress and you'll be able to connect to it wired. That will tell you your Playmaker is working. Next you'll be able to select a wireless network – While still wired – in the dedicated page. If no network shows up it's maybe the wifi part of he PM. If it can see networks, and let's say none of yours, the problem is in your setup. All this given your network is 2.4 Ghz and not limited at 5 Ghz. 5 Ghz wifi is always complicated with old devices.
