I am trying to get a demo AREDN network setup here in Central Florida. I had hoped to get this operational for demo on Field day. I setup a system about five years ago but couldn't get much interest going. I didn't have any big problems in flashing the nodes and had IP phone and HD PTZ camera links. I have been struggling for the past month in getting nodes to flash. I was able to get a pair of TP Link CPE210 nodes flashed via the PHAROS application. I have tried this on the CPE710 but it gives an unsupportred hardware error. I have also tried PXE but it doesn't load the BIN file. I realize that I am now 80 years of age and do make mistakes but I don't recall the setup procedure being as complicate as it was.
The CPE710 nodes are version 2.6. Is this my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated TNX es 73, Dave

In the last month there have been several posts from or about central Florida.
Perhaps it is a good time to request a Reginal:Florida Forum space?
I have 2 tunnels to South Florida. Perhaps you folks could link up and
I could drop out.

Concerning a regional Florida forum. That would be great and I originally was looking for one. Unfortunately, I have found nothing concerning a process to request a new forum space and I have no idea who holds the magic keys to make it happen. Do you have any references to the process?

others?
A Florida forum region has been requested.
OBTW, I have achieved a solo ascent of Mount Dora.

Also thank you for coordinating the request for the Florida forum.
Solo ascent of Mount Dora? All 25 feet? :-)

Reply to post #1:
The current stable 3.23.4.0 supports the CPE710 v1.
Yesterday's nightly, 202306-26 supports the CPQ710 v1.
If you have a CPQ710 v2.6, it may not, yet, be supported.

Hi Orv,
Not giving up on the CPE210, just content it works as is. I only bought it so if there is a reason to need to send a 2.4 signal to connect a hAP wirelessly I can put it into the system. Now that the hAP can do mesh on 5 gig I'm not sure it will see power up for a while.
I just commented because in the current moment we have to be flexible. I hope the MikroTik issue about not being able to downgrade the factory firmware to get WISP and mesh loaded gets figured out ... that sounds like a really big issue going forward. Here in Oregon we are contemplating some large expansions that will require buying a lot of new equipment in six to nine months time from now, and we need to know what we will purchase then will work.

Download the ARM version (routeros-arm) for devices that use the ipq40xx AREDN® firmware, and the MIPSBE version (routeros-mipsbe) for other AREDN® devices.
Hope this helps
