Your "WiFi" can't get a virus.

But, many nasty virus infections prevent installing of a new antivirus application.

Why is a "reset", or preferably a full wipe and reinstall, no an option?

Use your uninfected hardware and create a USB with the antivirus. Truthfully, NUKING from orbit is the safest thing to do. If you have some files, you want to save, boot a Linux OS and save the files. That should prevent the virus from being able to do anything.
