New LBE-5AC-Gen2-US arrived today.
It is version WA.V8.7.11
I tried to downgrade as per Documentation with WA.V8.7.0:
Device displayed:
Incorrect firmware version.
Please upload v8.7.4 or newer and try again.
I obtained WA.V8.7.4 from:
https://www.ui.com/download/software/lbe-5ac-gen2
and loaded it on the LBE-5AC-Gen2-US.
I, again, tried to upload WA.V8.7.0 and received the same error message:
Incorrect firmware version.
Please upload v8.7.4 or newer and try again.
I continued with the installation using v8.7.4
ssh admin@192.68.1.20
ssh: connect to host 192.68.1.20 port 22: Connection timed out
Next I tried:
ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -oPubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa admin@192.168.1.20
admin@192.168.1.20's password:
Succcess so far.
WA# hexdump -Cv /bin/ubntbox | sed 's/14 40 fe 27/00 00 00 00/g' | hexdump -R > /tmp/fwupdate.real

Also, you don't say that you used scp to copy the AREDN factory bin file over to the node. Did you maybe miss that step?

Thanks for the post.
I took the weekend off and started over stepping through the documentation.
I had left the LBE-5ac-Gen2 powered up with RouterOS 8.7.4 over the weekend.
I started with the scp of the aredn firmware.
I stepped through the instructions, this time using Nightly 20240325.
Got this one going. :-)
Working on the other one.
Got 2.
These were 'Test date: 2/23/23' and came with RouterOS WA.v8.7.11.
They did not accept downgrade to 8.7.0.
IMHO, very funky mount hardware. :-(
:-)
