Hi all
I just tested the "hard reset" to "default setting" on my GL-AR150
Wait till your router has booted and running then press the "reset" button for 10 seconds.
Wait for a few minutes for your router to reset.
Unsure if it will work on router boot loop?

I didn't understand your question exactly. Whether this will work if the router is in loop state? probably should, according to the settings just press the button for 4s and release - this will trigger the delete command. You can find out the button settings from the
/etc/config/system file in the reboot_button (WPS) sections - only reboot and reset_button (Reset) - clear the configuration.
It would be good to write it in the documentation (maybe somewhere here):
https://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/do ... e_recovery 
This is what happened to
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11976, where he deleted the configuration and didn't even know.
Functional: TL-WR1043ND, WRT3200ACM

** and is not enabled for all models.
I’ll try and enable it for everything I can but because the “names” of the buttons changes it’s hard.

In your case there is a bigger problem in failsafe mode, because the mount_root command does not work.
See if this command works in version 1.11.0 (1.11.X)
. If not, I don't know if the Gargoyle team will help or you need to contact OpenWrt.

Do you have some test where I can find and confirm my reset on my x86 for example?

You can follow the instructions here:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7203&start=30#p45438
Note that the post linked has updated tips for how to use my initial instructions (linked by that post).
That should allow you to find out the button in the log.

OK for my x86_64 Fanless Mini PC P07-N3160-1C
https://www.hystou.com/nano-pc--j1900
I couldn't find a reset button but it does have a power button. If you hold the power button for 10 seconds it will power off.
Code: Select all
Wed May 1 19:02:25 2019 user.notice root: the button was power and the action was pressed
Wed May 1 19:02:25 2019 user.notice root: the button was power and the action was pressed
Wed May 1 19:02:25 2019 user.notice root: the button was power and the action was released
Wed May 1 19:02:25 2019 user.notice root: the button was power and the action was released
root@Gargoyle:~#
Can we hold in the power button for 5 seconds to reset?
