MT7628NN based router

Hi There
I have MT7628NN based module router which I bought from Aliexpress. The problem is, when I connect the power to the module, noting appear s in the wifi list. Also by connecting the Ethernet port to the PC, Windows 10 shows cable is unplugged. I also connected it to serial port using USB to TTL dongle and the module sends some data log and automatically turns off at the end. I do not know how to boot or upload new bin file in this situation. Any help is appreciated. The boot log and module photo are as follows,

The firmware that boots doesn't look like OpenWrt.

There are no Ethernet transformers on the board. The "PHY" pins cannot be connected directly to an Ethernet cable. The signals need to pass through a transformer or an RJ45 jack with "internal magnetics."

32 MB of RAM really isn't enough for a modern build. The usefulness of this device will likely be limited by lack of RAM.
