Mikrotik HAP AC lite - Must press reset to get it to boot into AREDN?

I have a HAP AC lite that I have struggled to get flashed. I currently have AREDN installed with my settings, but I have to hold reset while applying power in order for it to boot. If I do not press reset then the HAP is stuck (forever) looking for a TFTP server.

I have flashed OpenWRT and I have the same experience. How do I overcome this issue? My guess is it has something to do with the various Mikrotik reset button modes, and maybe protected boot?

Hardware obsolescence

I'm part of a group trying to increase the AREDN adoption in New England.  One of the problems we've encountering, and which I've heard complaints from multiple people about, is that the hardware list supported by AREDN changes too frequently, and hardware becomes obsolete before we can move through the logistics of getting it deployed in the field. 

I understand that one cause of this is the increasing memory footprint of the AREDN image.  Perhaps there are additional reasons as well.

Am trying to flash Ubiquiti NanoBeam AC with AREDN firmware. Changed existing firmware to 8.7.0 and copy AREDN firmware to node and wrote the program to bypass checking process,but when I try to load the firmware from the Ubiquiti WA prompt, I get a group of error messages starting with error in line 1 and error in line 17. Had also tried logging out of Ubiquiti prompt and upgrading firmware direct from setup in node but upgrade fails due to not being signed.

I just setup a Mikro Tik hAP AC lite Router I also bought a Mikro Tik LHG P5 Dish Antenna and was trying to flash it similar to the the same was I did the Router but it doesn't seem to work. When I to reset the Device by holding in the reset button the Tiny PXE Server never see the Device. I noticed that the LHG HP5 is on 192.168.88.1 so I mad sure my computer was on that Network. and I had the Factory Firmware downloaded and linked to the Tiny PXE. 
Is there a different procedure for setting up this Device?

Hello,
As this is my first post here I'd like to welcome everyone.

I’m trying to install AREDN firmware on a Mikrotik board and I am struggling with that. 

At the beginning I’d like to mention that I have some basic experience with that process - 3 running nodes - 2 of them Mikrotik. Thus the problem isn’t trivial.

Hardware support for Netbox 5

Hi,

Do we anticipate the ability to add hardware support for the Mikrotik Netbox 5 (RB911G-5HPacD-NB)? We have a number of mANT30 dishes we'd like to upgrade to newer hardware at some point but are currently locked to the older basebox 5.

https://github.com/aredn/aredn/issues/2074

Please advise as we got just recently bought a bunch of ac lite's and had multiple fail to upgrade on the last  two nightly builds and to re-flash.
  • See posts about ac lite crashing and where memory is a starting to become an issue... how about if we disable wireless?

ac lite connecting to router resets ac lite

I flashed my ac lite with 3.25.2.0 and can create a mesh connection with my ac3, but when I plug the ac lite into my home router (using port 1 here from https://downloads.arednmesh.org/snapshots/readme.md and https://arednmesh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/arednHow-toGuides/home-router... ) the ac lite gets hot and turns both LEDs off, which made me worried about some electrical fault.

Mikrotik LHG XL HP5 (5HPnD) ethernet keeps resetting [SOLVED]

Quick background -- I'm trying to set up a station, with the initial design goal of local access and portable operation with the option to expand to a node with some good LOS back to the LA basin from Verdugo or Wilson.

I've set up an hAP ac Lite for local access and bridging to my local network. That works great and I can connect up a second mikrotik device over the passive PoE passthrough for the "real" mesh link.

I have a Litebeam M5 that is running 3.22.12.0.  I wanted to get this node updated to the newer firmware to match my other Mikrotik nodes.  I do have the node on a smart switch that allows it to get Internet access (using vlans).  I have tried several ways to update the node:
