Nodes

I have followed the instructions at https://docs.arednmesh.org/en/latest/arednGettingStarted/installing_firm... to a "T". I had to upgrade the firmware to 8.7.4, no problem. But I can't copy the AREDN firmware to the Litebeam. 

From the command prompt, I tried 
scp <aredn-image-factory.bin> admin@192.168.1.20:/tmp/factory.bin

No go- received unable to negotiate error.

I have a Cudy TR1200 travel router. Its hardware is very similar to the OpenWRT One device — both use the mt76x8 chipset.

I successfully built the AREDN firmware for this device, but I encountered a few issues:

- LAN and WAN ports do not work initially, but I wrote a startup script that fixes this automatically when the device boots.
- DTDLink (Device-to-Device Link) is currently not working.
- On 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, channels -1, -2, -3, and -4 appear in the list, but none of them are functional. I tested channel -2, but it did not work.

Team,

I'm using the Alfa Tube AHM.

1) Factory screen I get when starting up, is Morse Micro, with their logos "Mu".   login is admin/admin

I have the above unit and downloaded the software.   When flashing to AREDN Firmware from stock, using the Update procedures, I get the following error "Failed! ERROR: Incorrect firmware format!"

Tried on two different machines, using Stable and Nightly builds.  Any one have a clue how to proceed??  The model appears to be supported, best I can tell.

After Flash and IP 192.168.1.1 the Node is Stuck asking for setup information and reboots and asks for it again.

Not sure what can be down to recover the device.

I just purchased 3 GL-iNet mini smart routers "shadow", model GLL-AR300M16-Ext. and I cannot seem to get the ARDEN firmware to take.

When I upload aredn-20250928-dadf66e3-ath79-nand-glinet_gl-ar300m-nand-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin the router accepts the firmware with warning, displays the keep settings slider, and presents the "install" button.  I press install, router reboots back to GL-iNET firmware.

I am having an issue trying to install the AREDN FW on a PowerBeam 5AC Gen2 that is on the stock Ubiquiti FW v 8.7.0 build 42152. The radio is connected through a stand alone switch and seen at 192.168.1.20 as expected. I can access the Ubiquiti setup at that address. When I power it up while holding the reset button, I also get the flashing 1-3, 2-4 LEDs as expected. I am using tftp under windows:

tftp.exe -i 192.168.1.20 put C:\temp\aredn-3.25.10.0-ath79-generic-ubnt_powerbeam-5ac-gen2-squashfs-factory.bin

Hello

I am trying to install the nightly on my new alfa tube-ah POE.

I keep on getting
"invalid firmware image content"

Im using
aredn-babel-20251018-4b1eff98-ramips-mt76x8-alfa-network_tube-ahm-r0c-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

one thing is that the firmware that the unit came with does not have (per the aredn documentation)

I've got a BananaPi OpenWRT One router. The base OpenWRT firmware works fine. Upload the ARDEN firmware for the device. Using aredn-3.25.10.0-mediatek-filogic-openwrt_one-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb. Once the firmware is installed,  the initial status page comes up without the ability to save the entries. I'm not sure what is going on. I have followed the troubleshooting process. Reflashed the device several times with the same result. Looking for some options to get this node up and rolling.

This is a Rocket 5AC running the latest (as of today) Babel only nightly. However, it has been behaving this way for many previous versions, although I can't tell you exactly when it started. The node appears to work OK otherwise.

Attached is part of the syslog. Yes, cabling and POE are good.
