Hardware

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.

New install
Put unit in XCV 8.7.0 on dashboard
ip .20
pc ip.10
When I try to upload in step two I get error
with the local path command

scp \hold\upgrade25.bin ubnt@192.168.1.20:/tmp/factory.bin
When I tried the next example for unable to negotiate

scp -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -oPubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa \hold\upgrade25.bin ubnt@192.168.1.20:/tmp/factory.bin

Still no luck getting to upload to device.


Any Ideas on my mistake?

I am here at the Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE 22x).  I AREDN has a booth here.  This prompted me to check out the nodes around my location, and possibly put one up.   I'm looking at the hardware list and saw some of the gl.inet routers on there, also some microtik devices.   However one row away from the AREDN booth was the Software Conservancy, and they had on display the Openwrt One router.  I got into reading about the nodes and what AREDN uses and it appears a lot of the hardware is repurposed that uses openwrt.   Are there plans to support this router?  Right now it looks like th

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,

I'm feeling a bit stupid.  I tried loading recent versions of AREDN onto an older nanostation, the version of which I couldn't determine; and onto an older nanobridge M5 that was acting like an M2.  In both cases  the only lights showing are the power light and the red light that only goes off and on.  I've tried the reset button on the nanostation without any effect.  I'm yet to try it on the M5.  Can anyone give me some guidance to get them both back up and running?

So I have this concept/idea for part of my portable AREDN setup (still in development). It takes "inspiration" from when I worked for a local TV station.

On their live trucks was a big hydraulic mast and at the top was a dish antenna for pointing back to the station that could be aimed from the ground.. While I'd love to find one those trucks, I don't think my wife would approve, not to mention I don't have the garage space.

My question is does anyone have/know of/used something that would work and fit on a push up antenna mast? 

Thanks
