I have a brand new, out of the box, Rocket M3, that I am unable to obtain a DHCP lease from.
1. I have tried two different laptops.
a. Windows 7, newly staged.
b. Xubuntu 14.04
c. Both laptops can obtain a lease from my local
network.
2. I have tried three different power supplies.
3. I have tried several different cables, tested of course.
4. I even tried another factory firmware flashed Ubiquity device. Same issue.
I've done dozen's of these devices in the AREDN space and this stumps me.
Or, put another way, HELP!
Cheers!

Failure to obtain DHCP lease from Rocket M3

I am assuming a lot here, but trying to help anyways...
Factory Ubiquiti devices typically run with a static IP address arrangement from the factory. They won't issue IP addresses out-of-box.

Goodness,
Curse me for an idiot!
I KNOW THAT!
Off to the lab.
Sigh!

Hey Chuck! Did that same thing myself two weeks ago with a 5.6 GHz Rocket with factory firmware still installed. Thought I'd bricked it somehow.
