Nodes

My GL-iNet B1300 (Convexa-B) works fine with the factory OpenWrt system, and behaved as per the documentation, but I cannot install AREDN because the firmware image is immediately rejected due to some kind of verification that it is doing*. Conveniently it reports the SHA of what it read which is exactly correct - so data corruption is not the reason.

So what am I supposed to do to make the firmware install?

Hi all,

I’m trying to load AREDN onto a Ubiquiti LiteAP 5AC and haven’t had any success. The device only has two LEDs (power and signal), and the documentation doesn’t describe a clear TFTP recovery sequence.

I’ve been powering up while holding the reset button for ~30 seconds. At that point the power LED begins slow-blinking while the signal LED stays solid. I’ve been assuming this is TFTP mode, but I’m not certain.

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

Hello, all...

I am not new to AREDN, but I have a very specific question that I would like to get some help with.

I am looking for hardware to use for a simple node that I can use at home to tunnel into a mesh island with some other users.
I don't need RF at all for that node,  and I want that node to trunk all traffic (WAN, DtD, and Lan) on one Ethernet port, like the ubiquiti nano Stattion. but the nano Station is probably an overkill for my need, and is priced for its RF capabilities that I won't need anyway.
