Nodes

I just got the "MikroTik LHG XL HP5 (4-pack) Antenna" and when I try to load the Aredn firmware I get the message.
Firmware CANNOT be updated
firmware file is not valid: firmware device match failed

version 3.23.4.0 Hardware Type: ath79/milrotik) mikrotik (roterboard-lhg-5hpnd-xl)

Out of the 4 dishes I got one to load the other 3 give me this message. I have load a lot of these deshes and never had a problem with the Aredn installation guide. Can someone help on getting the mikrotik deshes loaded.

Does anyone have any experience with Ubiquiti PowerBeam AC 5 620s? I need to replace a broken PowerBeam 5 620 and would like to get the newer device, but the supported platform list shows it as untested. 

I was able to use the Tiny PXE Server to load the "rb.elf" file and bring the node to the first "NOCALL" state. I then immediately installed the version 3.23.4.0 system upgrade per the instructions in the AREDN documentation.

The message on the web browser indicated that the firmware was being updated and that the node would automatically reload in 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the node reloaded, but did not come back to the Mesh Node Administrative Console screen.

I was given a pair of 900 mHz rockets and yagis that were previously flashed AREDN. I connected them to my hAP and temp turned on WAN so they could download the correct FW (I chose the nightly build). All went smoothly and I can get to all the usual webpages, etc from the LAN. HOWEVER, after flashing both rockets show power LED, ethernet LED (as applicable) and solid RED  LED but neither radio sees the other (they're about 10 ft apart and I turned the power down "just in case". WiFi scan shows nothing either

I'm working on setting up an AREDN node, and since the rest of my home network is built on Ubiquiti, it seems like the NanoStation might be the right fit for me. I see that there are two versions, XM and XW, and I need to load the right software based on which version I get.

There's a web page, perhaps older than the current supported devices page, that I was pointed at:

Is 3.22.12.0 the final release for ar71xx devices ( https://downloads.arednmesh.org/releases/3/22/3.22.12.0/targets/ )?  I have a number of Ubiquiti RM5-GPS units that run great on 3.22.12.0, but do not have the ability to be upgraded to the ath79 releases.  I tried many different sysupgrades and factory firmware images of the ath79 releases but no joy.  It's not imperative that they be upgraded, I just finally got a chance to do it.  

Hi, I just got a Mikrotik hAP ac3 with RouterOS v7.8 installed.   I read in the Aredn docs that I need to downgrade the RouterOS to v6.x and then flash the Aredn FW.  I've also read that you can not flash the ac3 with a version of the RouterOS earlier than what came from the factory.  So it seems I should send this back for a refund, if I understand correctly.  Much of this knowledge is from the OpenWrt page on the subject.   I've successfully flashed 6 hAPac Lites, 4 SXTsq5ac and 2 SXTsq lite 2 nodes, so I know the process.  Does anyone have recent practical experience or advice?  Thanks in a

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?
