Factory reset issues

[wthrmn654]

How long should it take to do a factory reset on a tp- link TL-MR3020?!

I can't seem to get this thing to reset now for God sake

Did you do the five-blink reset? Just pushing the button and keeping it pushed does not do a factory reset.
Is it a v1 or v3 version of the MR3020?

Idk what version it would be, yes I did 5 bonk then it goes rapid and stays rapid. I was able to get it to login once randomly and nothing was reset but then when I went back up stairs it didn't connect again

looks like weak WLAN or may be you run a WLAN MESH? That is not supported by the TP-Link Meteobridges.

No idea, I've had no issues with this router for years using wifi.

I did order a new one.

It has had issues reconnecting sometimes after power failures after a few hours

On top of I am able to get into the wrt settings thing but only for about 10 seconds before it will reboot again.

Idk what version it would be ....

Look on the back, typically above the serial number, MR3020Vx, x will show the version #

I would of I could but I don't have the actual unit nearby

In terms of the version, I think there's 3, does the version make much of a difference in terms of it not resetting to factory?

So I just realized I can look at the settings before I unplugged it to move back upstairs last week, gets what it says when it was connected the 1 time u was finally about to get it to..
