my AREDN Air router got corrupted, keeps rebooting
I had this AREDN Air router working for a few months, but somehow it got "stupid".  It keeps rebooting every 25 or so seconds, and it never establishes an ethernet connection to my PC.  The computer sees something, then it reports the ethernet cable is disconnected, and this repeats. 

I opened up the Airrouter, to see if maybe there was a bad electroytic cap or such I could fix.  That wasn't it.  I then saw a header on the board "UART" I connected a TTL level serial connection to that and my PC.  For once I guessed correct as to which pin is TX and RX.  Upon powerup I get:

I can talk to the airrouter:  During a reeboot, it says at one point to hit any key:

So it looks like I could do the urescue command and send the firmware, hopefully over this serial interface. 

Question is how I am to do this.  TIA   73 de WA2ISE

Sounds like the firmware was
Sounds like the firmware was corrupted somehow. I'd try either urescue or tftpboot. If you use tftpboot, it'll be like the Mikrotik process, but use the Ubiquity firmware.

possibly a flash failure.   
possibly a flash failure.    the urescue command will put the device in the normal tftp mode, to avoid using the vulcan boot to tftp mode grip.  See if it will accept the factory image and write to flash, with out complaining.

I was able to get it working.

I was able to get it working.  I did a urescue, and using a TFTP program (the router was listening to 192.168.1.20) sent the factory SW to it (It barfed on the sysupgrade one, said it didn't check out right).  Version 3.20.3.0 now, works except it won't save the location information (grid square, latatude, and longatude). Other things did save though.

Save Changes not needed
Just to confirm you're not using "Save Changes"?  That data is saved with the Apply Locations button at the bottom
