Please keep holding the button. The early version of uboot is slow. It needs almost 5 seconds when the LED flashes the first time.

When did you buy this?

Does the reset button work after the router boot? e.g. revert to factory default status. I just want to know if the button works.

If the button doesn’t have problems, maybe you are using an very early version of the uboot, when the uboot doesn’t have this function. Are you able to reflash the uboot?

To flash uboot, please read here: Overview - GL.iNet Docs

You need to have UARt adapter, familiar with uboot and set up tftp server. The command to replace uboot is ‘run lu’

UART adapter is not expensive to obtain. But you need to solder 3 wires as well.

Do you have to use the uboot UI? The stock firmware cannot boot now?

USB uart adapter using 3.3V should work.
