Hardware

Hello All.

The Mikrotik NetMetal 5 is a new edition to the hardware available for AREDN.  Looking on Amazon, there are several variations of this though they all look the same visually.  Is the "US Version" the one to buy?

Thanks.

Good Afternoon, All.

I have a new NetMetal 5 in my hot little hands but seem to be unable to locate the AREDN package for it.  The Supported Devices List shows:
 

Searching within the normal AREDN package process (https://downloads.arednmesh.org/afs/www/) does not produce any results.

Any suggestions as to where to locate and download the package?

Thank you.

Has anyone tried to use the switch portion of a MiktoTik router to do the WiFi to WAN (Internet) connection?
The router connects to the internet and has provision for a few ports to be configured as vLAN so it should be able to at least bridge the BulletM2
to the internet for temporary tunneling applications. I am current using an RB750 inexpensive router.

Hello group I have a d-link d-524 and want to know if it will work for turning into the Areden mesh network.  I seem to see that both say it may or maynot, can anyone tell me if this will work?

I have a MikroTik hAP ac lite dual that is setup and running AREDN with a Powerbeam M2400 on the POE port 5.  I have read you can access the MikroTik via wifi on the 5.8ghz radio while using the 2.4ghz radio for the mesh. I cannot see where I can select the 5.8ghz radio to configure it for wifi. Am I missing something here?

I am wondering if there is a way to provide internet via the USB port to allow use of the Meshtastic mqtt module
Hardware type: (ath79/mikrotik) mikrotik (routerboard-952ui-5ac2nd) 
Current version: 20241018-1edfae6

if there is, I can not find it or figure it out
the meshtastic device powers just fine from the mikrotik router running aredn

I can not access the meshtastic device when it is connected to the USB port. I can not find a way, using the aredn interface, to see any data activity or connectivity to/from the USB port.

I really like the Ubiquity Bullet  for it's compact size and shape. I see the Bullet AC dual band is not supported. I also see the Bullet-m2 xw is released but not tested. Is there other stable hardware that fits the Bullet style? It's hard to tell from the product descriptions the exact model.
When I search Ubiquity Bullet M2(XW) this is the description that comes up on Amazon.
 Ubiquiti BULLET-M2-HP Outdoor 802.11 B/G/N M2HP.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When I tried the next example for unable to negotiate

Still no luck getting to upload to device.


Any Ideas on my mistake?

Newbie here.  I have a Ubiquity PBE-M5-400 feed horn and POE box. Missing the dish and mounting hardware.  I tried the company, no reply. Any suggestions? Any sources of parts? Anyone have parts in a junk box?

Thanks,
