Network Switches

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.

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

hi,
new to the forum and Arednmesh.
would any of the existing firmware be possible to flash to a Mikrotik Cloud Core Router, CCR1009-8G-1S. ?
We are looking over old equipment to see if we can have a start not too costly..

Hello AREDN Community,

I'm currently setting up a network that includes a MikroTik hAP ac lite router and a NanoStation LocoM2, and I'm seeking advice on the best way to network these devices together within the AREDN framework. My goal is to ensure seamless connectivity and optimal performance for both devices, leveraging the unique capabilities of AREDN.

Current Setup:

• MikroTik hAP ac Lite
• NanoStation LocoM2

Objectives:

Hello -- I am very new to AREDN but I am trying to get up to speed.

I am trying to replicate the setup recommended in the "Device to Device (DtD) Linking" part of the AREDN website.  I have installed a Ubiquiti M2 with sector antenna and a BaseBox5 with sector antenna at the top of my tower, both running AREDN firmware 3.24.10.0.  The M2 and BB5 each have a 50-foot run of shielded CAT6 cable coming down the tower & plugged into two of the ports on a MikroTik HexPOE switch.  The switch provides POE to both the M2 and the BB5.

Greetings all,
I am a newbie to all this mesh stuff. I have a decent IT background, yet things still cause me issues. THIS IS ONE OF THEM! I am working with a windows 11 pro machine. I have DL the current Aredn mesh software for the hAP ac lite and the tiny PXE server software as per the the instructions.
Completed the six steps in the install preparation phase with no problems.
Got to the point of starting the PXE server--OK and press the "online" button; 
on the node pressed the "reset" button and applied power.

I want to share some of the work I have been doing at my location.  There are 2 projects I have been working on.  One is with an Arduino that has a network shield and relays (I will save this one for another day).  The other project is working with VLANS.  Most of this was because the driver for my NIC in Windows 11 has removed the ability to specify a VLAN.  I want to share the details how I got around this limitation and in doing so, I discovered Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapters.

I have access to Cisco switches with POE. Anyone using one to connect to your antennas? I was thinking I could use one of them to setup four antennas at my location? Also is there any use to adding 900mhz antenna to this setup?

Not able to get this device flashed, either through physical reset or try-ethernet-once-than-nand options using windows.

RouterOS 6.47.8, connected via switch as documented.
-Renamed the initramfs-kernel file to rb.elf.  rb.elf copied into the files folder
-rfc951=1 added to config.ini (complete file below)
-tiny pxe configured per install documentation

"Continue holding the reset button until you see TFTPd: DoReadFile: rb.elf in the Tiny PXE log window."

Has anyone here done the antenna mod referenced below on the AC2?  I have about 400' to reach the tower node.  Internal antennas will not cut it and the limited (and poor) reviews of the AC3 are not encouraging.

This appears to be the mating connector.
