Direct is best, so no issue there. If the firmware has been flashed, then the recovery button won't do anything at all. If not, it would take you to the recovery screen (not dev mode) which is fixed at 1024x768, and is problematic for some TVs. But normal boot should come up in 720p/1080p or whatever the display's native resolution is.
If you're not seeing the device's MAC in the router info, then sounds like it's not booting vs not displaying video. Hard to troubleshoot that without knowing what was done to the box exactly. I'd seek recourse from the seller or ask them to cover shipping to have me evaluate/fix it
