bricked GL-USB150

I have a bricked GL-USB150. I flashed AR150 AREDN Software instead of USB 150 AREDN Software. I have since bought another and flashed the correct software and all is well. No great loss only 29 bucks, but I would like to play with it. The UBOOT site was of no help.

Any clues as to how to unbrick it?

Reset Button

I assume you've pressed and held the reset button for 10 seconds to reset the router to factory settings.

I did the same thing with mine. I was able to un-brick it, but don't remember what I did. It can be done. It took several tries.

Sorry for no hard solutions.

Here's the formal procedures

Here's the formal procedures to recovery from loading AR150 firmware to a USB150 device. https://docs.gl-inet.com/en/2/troubleshooting/debrick/

However, it is possible the device is functional over wifi to access and load via the UI the correct image. power on the USB, and with a tablet or another computer (not the one it is plugged into), see if you can find a wifi "MeshNode2G" SSID. If you can, then connect to it and browse to "http://localnode.local.mesh". This should look like a normal firstboot process, except instead of trying to configure it, go in the Administration page in basic setup, and upload the correct image. Then, see if it comes back in firstboot and can be accessed on the computer it is plugged into.
