Hi Team,
I have 4 Alfa Tube-AHMs working 100%. (previously thought they were bricked)
I had previous thought I'd 'bricked' two, when installing October firmware. After flash, no response from the webpage, and unable to obtain IP. Can't remember all the details. To be clear it was NOT a firmware problem...
I'll say there's many steps that require a lot of waiting: I may have messed up not waiting for DHCP to assign an IP address. This took 4 minutes of waiting. So if anyone has flashed a Tube-AHM and can't get a response:
1) on your computer, disconnect from other networks, wifi, your router and DHCP.
2) connect to the Tube-AHM via ethernet (with PoE injector, but no router)
3) on the computer, open up TCP/IP so you can see IP addresses (wherever that is, Mac vs PC)
4) wait...
First, my computer self-assigned an IP address. This lasted ~ 4 minutes. Only then did the Alfa Tube act as DHCP and assign an IP address and take the role of router.
5) On web browser, go to the routers IP address, and this will pull up the node configuration page.
Senior development team: There was some minority frustration and failures with flashing the Tube-AHM, me included. If so would a new 1-page instruction list help people, with emphasis on the waiting times? (I have no other answers for where my flash went wrong in Oct. But the device clearly was NOT bricked) (Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!)
