Hardware

I have a 

MikroTik LHG HP5 to Ubiquiti AirMax 2x2 MIMO BaseStation Sector Antenna AM-5G16-120 Cross-polar Isolation 22 dB Min With a Ubiquiti Rocket AC Wireless Access Point (R5AC-LITE). The Ubiquiti is 6 Miles away on a mountain top. 

I 1st set it up pointed where I had a previous point to point and had some connectivity but would be some what in and out. I when ban tried re pointing the Mikro Tik and now I can't get anything. 

After Installing Nightly Build 20240821 - I lost my WAN WIFI connection and tunnels. Screen shots of my settings attached. Appreciate advice to restore my tunnels and WAN WIFI connection.

This is partially a follow up to a previous problem I've been having with a Mikrotik SXT SQ Lite5. 

Following the AREDN documentation, and recommendations on OpenWRT, I was able to successfully downgrade the RouterOS version to the recommended version 6.45.8. I can log into the node via the Mikrotik suite of tools and access the node's settings. I can also change the boot device settings to try-ethernet-once-then-nand in preparation for using Tiny PXEserver. Protected Routerboot is not enabled and the boot protocol is bootp. 

Someone has probably already done a top 10 list of the best brands or models of hardware to start with.

Lots of times you need to work with what you have but starting from scratch, what would be your go-to models for routers, radios and antennas?

I saw a YouTube video that showed a spreadsheet of hardware but the link was expired.

I am just getting started.  Flashed my first MikroTik.

I'm a little fuzzy on the details prior to my involvement, so here goes.

Hi, 

I was trying to update my Ubiquiti PowerBeam M5 XW from Aredn 3.23.8.0 to 3.24.6.0 I select the firmware, click upload. Then nothing for sometime, I refresh the browser, still 3.23.8.0 I reset the antenna and now I cannot do basic settings, I make the changes, save, reboot, nothing. It still Node name NOCALL-etc. It used to be working fine a couple months back, but left it unused for some time and now it isn't. I don't know if is something I did a couple months back, or if its corrupt or something else. If anyone can give me some pointers on what to try, it would be greatly appreciated.

My Reolink PoE camera works fine connected to my hAP node on my AREDN mesh - but my Reolink WIRELESS camera does not.  In my Reolink app there is no 'Advanced' Network area where I can enable HTTP service,  yet there is in settings for the PoE camera.   Is ANYONE successfully using a Reolink wireless camera with their AREDN network?   ... or ANY wireless camera?   I want to locate my Reolink Argus ECO wireless solar powered camera remotely without any cables.     Ed   K7AAT

Hello,

For several years, I used a Bullet M2 on my antenna tower with an omni antenna, and it provided excellent WiFi coverage. Unfortunately, not only is the device no longer working, but it's also outdated with only 8 MB of flash memory. I haven't found a good alternative to the Bullet M2, except for the Mikrotik Groove, but it seems that its chipset is not supported. I particularly liked the Bullet for its ease of flashing and updating via power injectior with the embedded reset button, so I didn't need to climb the tower.
