Hardware

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

I'm having a hard time finding the RBLHGG-5acD-XL while looking around the usual US-based Mikrotik resellers. It's sold out most places and where it is available it's only available as a 4-pack. The non-XL variant is discontinued. I'm wondering if Mikrotik's 802.11ac gear is going end-of-manufacture in favor of their newer 802.11ax offerings. Has anyone seen these for sale (and in stock) in single-unit quantities?
Thanks!

Is anyone working on a firmware build for any HaLow boards? I have a few of the Heltec boards working in ADHOC mode over 900mhz with Babeld and BATMAN running for routing, then using the 2.4 or ethernet to link into a regular AREDN node, which seems to give me a similar capability to the older Ubiquiti M9 Rockets.

These support an external antenna but unfortunately only use SISO.

My friend asked me to flash two Mikrotik nodes he purchased. After I set things up to flash, I looked carefully at the name plates and realized he did not order the hAP ac3 or the QRT 5 as he desired. Will either of these devices flash the currently listed ac3 and QRT5 builds??

Hello everyone,

I flashed the Ubiquiti LiteBeam M5 (lbe-m5-23) device with 3.25.5.1 XW. Then I saw the firstboot screen (192.168.1.1). After entering the information and clicking “save and reboot,” I cannot proceed to the dashboard screen. No matter how much I try, the device won't switch to the 10.x.x.x IP address.
 

Has anyone else had experience with this device or a similar experience with a different device?

Best regards.

Just bought two Mikrotik-952ui-5ac2nd routers from Amazon.  Neither responded to the Tiny PXE server.  The two units I purchase last year, program without a problem using the same equipment and process. Tried two different computers and switches without success.
