Any suggestions on where to obtain the wind loading values for the various  Ubiquiti antenna systems currently used for AREDN?

Is there a way to have the Bullets talking on the same Subnet, so that they are working in LAN mode?  We are experimenting with remoting a Flex 6500, and the computer to radio need to be on the same subnet to work.  We don't want to add complications of another computer or switches at the radio end or other software to resolve. Your suggestions are welcome.  Kevin

Hi,

I had a M2 fail to offer a web gui recently, I telnet in and see squashfs file errors galore.

After replacing the destroyed reset button, I reflashed the M2 using tftp, back to beta2  nano factory and this restored the node to working condition and no more file system errors, (for now). 

I expect this problem to come back eventually, however, I noticed that the red LED no longer lights up after bootup.

the node appears functional in every way except for this LED issue..anyone seen this before?

tnx

Does anyone use one of these for their VLAN?

I would like to support the old Netgear gear (BBHN, tomato DDWRT) occasionally and run the Ubiquiti VLAN and maybe a 5 Ghz Ad Hoc network later on as 802.11AC devices become more prevalent.

Like many ARES groups we have a pile of these old Netgears and I want to stop dealing with them in my shack.  

I wonder if the Mikrotik line is under consideration as an alternate?  They seem to make several UBNT clones which run, without modification, on the "superchannels" and they have a built-in mesh mode of operation (not OLSR though).  On another forum I visit, one guy likes to sign "anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about".  So, in that spirit, I would say that it might be possible to put OLSR into a Mikrotik and configure it to do a hamnet mesh without having to replace the firmware.

Hi all- I picked up a couple AirRouter units for low-cost, in-shack prototyping/testing.  I am able to load and run the AREDN-3.0.2-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-bullet-m-squashfs-factory.bin image.

I have several of these dishes.

Inside the antenna is a up converter and a printed di-pole antenna, here is the printed antenna.

I've removed the up converter and as my 2.4 GHz experience is just starting i have questions.
