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!

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!

Well, Chuck... I can assure you, none of us have ever made that mistake before <g>
I was going to add... now you know why I "now" know this so well.
I put up a detailed web page .... mainly to help me out each time !!!

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.
