Does it appear when you press the reset button in back for 15 seconds then release?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?

Doesn't appear even after a reset, tried it a few times.
Currently on FW 1.0.5.42.

Has any other FW like DD-WRT been loaded on this router?
Try a 30-30-30 reset on the router.
Also might try a TFTP re-load of the FW. Might try Voxels FW as well.
If these don't work, let me know, theres one last resort item to try.

Happy New year !!!
My friend did try to install DD-WRT but I'm not aware if that caused this issue in the first place, it was not successful based on the router's control panel being unavailable.
I tried 30-30-30 rest, there wasn't any change. So I moved to installing FW both Official and Voxel's, still no luck.
Let me know the last resort item, hope that works
