Nodes

Hi, I've gotten pretty good at flashing Mikrotik nodes, perhaps 40+ with no failures until this last month.  That includes ~12 LHGs of various subtypes.   Recently, our local hospital brought me 6 LHG5nDs to flash (RouterOS 6.49.13) and the local club had 3 more (6.48.7).  5 of the hospital's went fine and 2 of the club's went fine.  One from each group refused to load the sys-upgrade file.  I loaded 20240926-5913b09 on the Club's (one failed) and 3.24.10.0 on the hospital's (one failed).   At first I used the "V7" files because they worked...until they didn't.  Then I tried perhaps 5 differen

I have a HAP AC lite that I have struggled to get flashed. I currently have AREDN installed with my settings, but I have to hold reset while applying power in order for it to boot. If I do not press reset then the HAP is stuck (forever) looking for a TFTP server.

I have flashed OpenWRT and I have the same experience. How do I overcome this issue? My guess is it has something to do with the various Mikrotik reset button modes, and maybe protected boot?

Am trying to flash Ubiquiti NanoBeam AC with AREDN firmware. Changed existing firmware to 8.7.0 and copy AREDN firmware to node and wrote the program to bypass checking process,but when I try to load the firmware from the Ubiquiti WA prompt, I get a group of error messages starting with error in line 1 and error in line 17. Had also tried logging out of Ubiquiti prompt and upgrading firmware direct from setup in node but upgrade fails due to not being signed.

Hello,
As this is my first post here I'd like to welcome everyone.

I’m trying to install AREDN firmware on a Mikrotik board and I am struggling with that. 

At the beginning I’d like to mention that I have some basic experience with that process - 3 running nodes - 2 of them Mikrotik. Thus the problem isn’t trivial.

Saw Ori post in Github that  hAP ac lite will no longer be recommended?!. even though it is still listed on hardware support?

Please advise as we got just recently bought a bunch of ac lite's and had multiple fail to upgrade on the last  two nightly builds and to re-flash.

• See posts about ac lite crashing and where memory is a starting to become an issue... how about if we disable wireless?

I flashed my ac lite with 3.25.2.0 and can create a mesh connection with my ac3, but when I plug the ac lite into my home router (using port 1 here from https://downloads.arednmesh.org/snapshots/readme.md and https://arednmesh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/arednHow-toGuides/home-router... ) the ac lite gets hot and turns both LEDs off, which made me worried about some electrical fault.

Quick background -- I'm trying to set up a station, with the initial design goal of local access and portable operation with the option to expand to a node with some good LOS back to the LA basin from Verdugo or Wilson.

I've set up an hAP ac Lite for local access and bridging to my local network. That works great and I can connect up a second mikrotik device over the passive PoE passthrough for the "real" mesh link.

I have a Litebeam M5 that is running 3.22.12.0.  I wanted to get this node updated to the newer firmware to match my other Mikrotik nodes.  I do have the node on a smart switch that allows it to get Internet access (using vlans).  I have tried several ways to update the node:

I am here at the Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE 22x).  I AREDN has a booth here.  This prompted me to check out the nodes around my location, and possibly put one up.   I'm looking at the hardware list and saw some of the gl.inet routers on there, also some microtik devices.   However one row away from the AREDN booth was the Software Conservancy, and they had on display the Openwrt One router.  I got into reading about the nodes and what AREDN uses and it appears a lot of the hardware is repurposed that uses openwrt.   Are there plans to support this router?  Right now it looks like th

I'm having a hard time finding the RBLHGG-5acD-XL while looking around the usual US-based Mikrotik resellers. It's sold out most places and where it is available it's only available as a 4-pack. The non-XL variant is discontinued. I'm wondering if Mikrotik's 802.11ac gear is going end-of-manufacture in favor of their newer 802.11ax offerings. Has anyone seen these for sale (and in stock) in single-unit quantities?
Thanks!
