Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) stuck in boot loop?

I bought a Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) router in February in anticipation of my upcoming travel. I'm traveling now and the router seems to be crashing consistently.

Initially I thought it was because the firmware needed upgrade but even after upgrading to the latest version I have not been able to get the router to function normally. At times it runs for a few hours whereas at others it crashes and the LED turns off which made me think that it was a power brick issue.

Here's what I have tried:

  • Upgrade to latest beta version (4.6.3) via UBoot mode
  • Upgrade to latest stable version (4.6.2) via UI & via UBoot mode
  • Downgrade to 4.5.16 via UBoot mode & via UI
  • Used different power bricks, both Anker and Lenovo
  • Captured UART output (attached)

Once the router is plugged in it either starts up fine or the power/activity LED remains off and it seems as if the router isn't booting at all. On connecting via UART you can see that the router is stuck in "DDR RESERVE Success 0" loop which it is sometimes able to break out of.
