Hardware

Dear maintainers.

First of all, very good work you're doing with the project and the forum. Lots of information and good advice in here, and very good reading material as well. Especially for me as a newbie to AREDN, there is a lot to learn and study.

I currently have a MikroTik LHG XL 5 ac (P/N RBLHGG-5acD-XL) dish antenna which provides 27 dBi of gain and a maximum power of 25 dBm.  The hilltop node that I’m trying to hit is seeing me with a SNR of 17 dB.  I’m seeing the hilltop node with a SNR of about 23 to 24 dB. I’ve tried realigning my MikroTik dish several times with no improvement.
 

I have 2 TPlink CPE210s V3.26 that I want to flash with AREDN firmware.  I first tried the most recent "aredn-3.23.4.0-ath79-generic-tplink_cpe210-v3-squashfs-factory" using the PHAROS software that came with the CPE210.  It flashed, I could ping it and open the NOCALL page.  When I entered the user/password I got the "Bad Gateway error that many have reported.   I just spent a week trying to reflash it with 3.22.12.0, which worked on my 2nd CPE210, using the TFTP and TinyPXE methods but nothing ever took.   Following the instructions on the bottom of this page

I know the Uniquiti R5AC PTMP version is not the LITE version. Its supposed to have airPrism filtering. (doesnt cover the low band)
Does anyone know if the PTMP will accept our latest AREDN Firmware?
Is it a matter of just trying it?

Greetings all!

Does anybody know the correct settings for the boot settings on the MikroTik SXT?  I believe the options are a mix of nand, flash, dhcp, and bootp.  I'm stuck in endless DHCP boot sequence after first applying the correct .elf file and I get to the NOCALL first boot just fine, but I can't seem to apply the sysupgrade .bin file and make it through that next boot sequence.   

Are there log  trails or syslog setup that I can look at?

I am very new to AREDN.  I spent a fair amount of time getting both devices loaded with the AREDN firmware.  I was in a bit of a hurry to get the devices configured so I could take them to an event the local ARES was putting on in a park yesterday to demo and exercise equipment.

My setup yesterday was the SXTsq mounted on a short pole, connected to a POE injector.  From the POE injector to the hAP port 1.  My laptop connected to port port 2 on the hAP.  The devices have the most recent AREDN firmware loaded and are stock other than my completing the basic setup.

Greetings AREDN Community!

I'm new here and very interested in joining the AREDN network. I wanted to find out if it's possible to put into service my old pair of Ubiquiti LiteBeam (LBE-5AC-23). They have sadly been taking up space in my closet since I moved years ago, aching to get a new lease on life!
