Hardware

Hi.
I am trying to change the firmware of the MIKROTIK HAP Lite.
I follow all the steps, and load Arend's firmware well (https://arednmesh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/arednGettingStarted/installin...). But when it is reset, it returns to the mikrotik firmware.
How can I solve the problem?
Regards.

    While supporting the NYC Marathon on miles 15.5 through mile 17, I deploy 8 AREDN nodes every year to send video streams to both race control and to One Police Plaza.  This year I ran into a hiccup.  While upgrading all the nodes from their Nightly builds to the 3.24.10 release, I bricked a MikroTik SXTsq5HPnD by forcing the wrong firmware onto it using WinSCP & SSH.  (I later discovered that I had two identically named directories, and chose the wrong one; so ends my days as a firmware version hoarder).

I've been working on getting the GL-MT3000. It is supported in openWRT, but the wifi scan isn't finding other wifi on the 5ghz especially other nodes I have working on channel 165. Is anyone else working on getting the GL-MT3000 working with AREDN software ?

I'm contemplating putting a switch into a concrete and steel control room I don't have easy access to.  I want to be able to have LAN access from outside the building to be able to manage things from on site but not close to the rack with my switches etc.

Any plans to support the GL.iNet GL-B3000 dual-band AX3000? Currently only $53.90 on Amazon (40% off) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7PTFZZM

Over the weekend I acquired an Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 (PBE-5AC-Gen2) device and successfully completed an initial install of the AREDN firmware following the "Ubiquiti 802.11ac First Install Process" instructions.  I was able to downgrade the installed Ubiquiti firmware to WA.V8.7.0.  The rest of the commands went off without a complaint.  It appears to be running normally on version 3.24.10.0 firmware.  The status screen reports the radio as an Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC 400 / Gen2.

Anybody got suggestions on a 2.4 mimo omni antenna that won't wipe out my bank account? I was using the Altelix brand but seems they are going out of the antenna business. KP Preformance seems to be really proud of their antennas. The Ubiquiti Omni AirMax 2G13 (AMO-2G13) seems ok but looks like the supplied cables are too short for the Mikrotik BaseBox2. Suggestions appreciated.

Since there is no search feature for the forums, I am wondering if anyone has used the Mikrotik OmniTik 5 ac

Here is a link to the actual unit

Hi all,
Have been running a Reolink IP-cam 520A for while now, which has meant having to provide login details for potential viewers, which is messy.
Today on the new UI I have discovered that under Local Services/Add Service there is now an entry for a Reolink Camera which yields the following command string:

cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=abcdef&user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD

This is great: it lets the visitor see a SNAPSHOT without having to muck about with a login, because I have already stored the details in the link.
