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.

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

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?
