Morse Micro Halo-1

After Flash and IP 192.168.1.1 the Node is Stuck asking for setup information and reboots and asks for it again.

Not sure what can be down to recover the device.

I just purchased 3 GL-iNet mini smart routers "shadow", model GLL-AR300M16-Ext. and I cannot seem to get the ARDEN firmware to take.

When I upload aredn-20250928-dadf66e3-ath79-nand-glinet_gl-ar300m-nand-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin the router accepts the firmware with warning, displays the keep settings slider, and presents the "install" button.  I press install, router reboots back to GL-iNET firmware.

Hi everyone,

I have installed a hAPac3 in my car -- easy to do because it can run on 12V, which I already have in the car.    What to y'all recommend for a 2.4 GHz MIMO mobile antenna?

Thx & 73,

I am having an issue trying to install the AREDN FW on a PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 that is on the stock Ubiquiti FW v 8.7.0 build 42152. The radio is connected through a stand alone switch and seen at 192.168.1.20 as expected. I can access the Ubiquiti setup at that address. When I power it up while holding the reset button, I also get the flashing 1-3, 2-4 LEDs as expected. I am using tftp under windows:

tftp.exe -i 192.168.1.20 put C:\temp\aredn-3.25.10.0-ath79-generic-ubnt_powerbeam-5ac-gen2-squashfs-factory.bin

Hello

I am trying to install the nightly on my new alfa tube-ah POE.

I keep on getting
"invalid firmware image content"

Im using
aredn-babel-20251018-4b1eff98-ramips-mt76x8-alfa-network_tube-ahm-r0c-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

one thing is that the firmware that the unit came with does not have (per the aredn documentation)

I've got a BananaPi OpenWRT One router. The base OpenWRT firmware works fine. Upload the ARDEN firmware for the device. Using aredn-3.25.10.0-mediatek-filogic-openwrt_one-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb. Once the firmware is installed,  the initial status page comes up without the ability to save the entries. I'm not sure what is going on. I have followed the troubleshooting process. Reflashed the device several times with the same result. Looking for some options to get this node up and rolling.

This is a Rocket 5AC running the latest (as of today) Babel only nightly. However, it has been behaving this way for many previous versions, although I can't tell you exactly when it started. The node appears to work OK otherwise.

Attached is part of the syslog. Yes, cabling and POE are good.

 

 

My GL-iNet B1300 (Convexa-B) works fine with the factory OpenWrt system, and behaved as per the documentation, but I cannot install AREDN because the firmware image is immediately rejected due to some kind of verification that it is doing*. Conveniently it reports the SHA of what it read which is exactly correct - so data corruption is not the reason.

So what am I supposed to do to make the firmware install?

Hi all,

I’m trying to load AREDN onto a Ubiquiti LiteAP 5AC and haven’t had any success. The device only has two LEDs (power and signal), and the documentation doesn’t describe a clear TFTP recovery sequence.

I’ve been powering up while holding the reset button for ~30 seconds. At that point the power LED begins slow-blinking while the signal LED stays solid. I’ve been assuming this is TFTP mode, but I’m not certain.

Hi, I just got a Mikrotik hAP ac3 with RouterOS v7.8 installed.   I read in the Aredn docs that I need to downgrade the RouterOS to v6.x and then flash the Aredn FW.  I've also read that you can not flash the ac3 with a version of the RouterOS earlier than what came from the factory.  So it seems I should send this back for a refund, if I understand correctly.  Much of this knowledge is from the OpenWrt page on the subject.   I've successfully flashed 6 hAPac Lites, 4 SXTsq5ac and 2 SXTsq lite 2 nodes, so I know the process.  Does anyone have recent practical experience or advice?  Thanks in a
