Hardware

Hello !
I've bought a Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC-ISO-Gen2 M400, thinking the radio was the same as other PB, but I'm unable to flash it :-(

I've tryied several firmware, including this one:

Last month I decided to combine a GL-AR300M and and old 18" round Direct TV dish antenna. The 300M is temporarily mounted on wood slid into the hollow arm below the dish where the LNB was mounted. Initial tests here at home proved that it does work. I'm still playing with the best focal point position for the AR300M. Yesterday I tested the system in my truck with all DC power using the laptop USB port to power the AR300M and a 12v adapter for the laptop. The dish is mounted on short aluminum 1.5" tubing with a plywood base to make it stable and adjustable for aiming.

Hi guys

A missing part of my AREDN puzzle, couldn't find an answer in the docs:

I have three antennas connected DtD using a POE switch. I plug in my notebook to a non-POE port of that switch and it gets an IP address assigned by DHCP.

• Are there rules on which antenna will act as DHCP server when they are DtD connected? do the other two antennas automatically 'mute' their DHCP function?
• Or do I have do deactivate DHCP on two of the three antennas?

Thanks!

I have a chance to put new node or nodes on a local 200  foot tower to encourage local activity. Currently there is a bullet on 2.4 with an omni antenna. Tower work is being done which would allow new an additional nodes, possible 5 ghz to be installed. Currently no local activity but some interest. What hardware would be a good choice to install?

Hello,
As this is my first post here I'd like to welcome everyone.
I bought a pretty new GL.iNET GL-AR300M16-Ext and found out that this is a new version with
128 MB Memory (see label).
It was not possible to flash the available firmware that works perfect on the older model due to a checksum error (see error message).
Does anyone have an information how to flash the new generation.
Many Thanks.

I have a Ubiquity NanoStationLocoM2 and a EdgeRouter X
which I had used in another project.

Will I be able to use them with AREDN? Or do I need to purchase different hardware?

I have an M900 rocket and it has never been flashed for AREDN.

Every time I try to flash it with AREDN (aredn-3.24.6.0-ath79-generic-ubnt_rocket-m-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin), tftp fails with "Error on server. Firmware check failed". Interestingly, if I use the factory load (aredn-3.24.6.0-ath79-generic-ubnt_rocket-m-squashfs-factory.bin), it loads without error.

Help?
 

I just set up a hAP lite for myself and now I am setting up one for a friend. I got the Kerrnal loaded but when I try to do the sysupgrade. I keep getting this message. shown on the screen capture. I have tried with the full file name that was down loaded and also a remaned shorter file name. I also have restarted from the start and redid the Kernal Load with the same result during the sysupgrade.

I have been trying to flash the firmware to a R5 ac lite. I was using the tftpD64 with the downloaded firmware for the Rocket R5ac   lite. It sat that it loaded but when I go to the browser in dhcp I cant get the aredn page to load. I went in to the default ubuquiti page to see the firmware that was on the router to begin with and it was 7.03 do I have to get it to another version before changing to aredn?
