Are we to assume installation is the "same" as the Linksys devices?  Let's improve guys!!!!

I just loaded the BBHN factory software .bin file into a brand new, out of the box NSM2.

It now seems dead!

The first part went fine (logged into the NSM2 at 192.168.1.20), but after getting the message about upload in progress, the browser screen went blank.  Thought that might be normal, but when I tried to reconnect to "http://localhost:8080" I get nothing.

The NSM2 no longer responds at 192.168.1.20, so something has changed!

Any help appreciated.

Try unplugging the CAT from your PC, waiting a sec or 2, then replugging. If everything is working as normal, this will get a new IP address from the DHCP server in the NSM2. (a 172.27.x.x address if memory serves correct)

Thanks Darryl, I got the NSM2 back to original with a tftp load of the Ubiquti AirOS. I'll give the BBHN software load another shot. Especially as I can seem to recover OK. Will post again with hopefully good results! Steve G./N4TTY

All's well that ends well!  I'm up and running.  Not sure what went wrong before but this install went OK.

It does come back up at the 192.168.1.1 ip address as the NOCALL node name in order for you to change the node name to contain your call and allow you to change the password.  Then when it reboots it comes back in the 10. address range.

Thanks Darryl and Conrad for your support and encouragement.

Interestingly enough I found the install instructions you mentioned Conrad after I had recovered from whatever the problem was.  I had seen them earlier, but didn't save the link.  And I noticed my screens were just a little different from those shown.  Must be version differences in AirOS from when the instructions were written until now.  I think I am going to go through the entire process and document my experience from having to reload the Ubiquiti OS, all the way to getting the mesh up and running.

And I do understand the 'delay' on producing up to date documentation, I used to be the world's worst on documenting the things I used to do in my IT days.

Meshing along just fine, although this wasn't my first involvement.  Just my first Ubiquiti unit.

This is well after the fact, but when I reflashed my NSM2, and found http . . did not work, I did find that localnode:8080 would work. Be careful, I now know just enuf 2 b dangerous.
