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!

Hi everyone,
New to AREDN I just bought a "MikroTik HAP ac Lite" router and a Ubiquiti Powerbeam M5-300.
The router is flashed with firmware AREDN 3.23.8.0. The antenna is not AREDN flashed, just updated to the latest Ubiquiti firmware (XW.v6.3.11 Build Number: 33396)
With the POE adaptator included, the M5 power on
But if I connect the M5 to the port 5 "POE Out" of the router, it does not power on (no LED on).
I've tryed with router
a) powered throug POE on port 1
b) powered through AC adapter
c powered with a) and b) toogether

• One M5 (XW) is on a remote site and I can't keep making half day trips to fix it. The one on-site is currently borked again. I can remotely access a Linux SBC on-site, so maybe there's a chance to fix it that way.
• The other M5 and M2 are now on my workbench.

Beginner questions...

I'm trying to set up a lab with 2 Mikrotik Hap ac Lite and 2 Powerbeam M5-300. All the devices are flashed with the AREDN firmware.

After some tests, I now have in "Basic Setup" one of the Hap which indicates "Mesh" and "Band: 5GHz" and the other: "Mesh RF 2GHz", without the possibility of changing.

I don't understand the difference between these 2 modes and how to switch from one mode to the other.

We have few 900 MHZ nodes in our network, and I decided to update the main sector antenna rocket with the latest daily build. I selected Rocket M XM from the software selector since it was not the other 2 selections.  It came up with the firmware updating window, and that's the last I have been able to get from it.  Now there is no response from the node. I tried all the items to get it working including loading the factory firmware via TFTP.  I can ping the node at 192.168.1.20, but the factory upload fails with no response.

Having a heck of a time flashing this thing. Confirmed on physical stamp and in the Pharos GUI that its v1. 

When is use Tiny PXE server, it sends the file, reboots but goes back to Pharos? 
I have tried two different PCs, one with physical LAN port and my laptop with two different USB > LAN adapters. With and without a switch in the mix. 

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to connect a Synology NAS to a port (2, 3 or 4) of a Mikrotik hAP ac Lite so that it is accessible via the mesh?

The idea would be to share files or use NAS services, such as the FTP server.

I tried, the NAS is accessible from my PC connected by wifi to the hAP, with an IP address given by the hAP, but from another mesh station connected by tunnel, it is not accessible.
