Ubiquiti Bullet M2 Firmware Installation Problem
Hello Darryl Thanks for the info on the Elmers. Mark and Thor are the two closest. Question 1 - Is there a limit on the Password Length? I usually use 10 to 12 character passwords. When resetting to recover from a password not working I noticed one attempt were I use a sequence of four numbers only and the password worked afterwards. I have not attempted to close the gap between the 12 character and 4 character password at this point. Question 2 - Are there characters which are excluded from use in passwords? Both units (Ubiquiti and Linksys WRT54GL ver 1.1) exhibit this phenomena thus I think whatever I am doing is not allowed by the firmware rather than the devices. If I use the longer password I cannot get back in after the password change. Using 3 or 4 characters for the password works. For the time being I will use short passwords but would prefer to use those from my select list which are longer. Call me paranoid.
Thanks Chuck

Ubiquiti Bullet M2 Firmware Installation Problem
Hi Chuck,
It definitely sounds environmental with your setup.
Are you giving it enough time to boot-up and sync names? (try and give it 2 mins after power on) before using the name.)
Are you removing the CAT5 between initial config and trying to access with your node name? (this renews the IP address)
Beyond that, you may want to consider contacting one of your regional mesh elmers to sit with you and work thru it.
Here's the list from the Elmer page on the site:

Ubiquiti Bullet M2 Firmware Installation Problem
Evening Darryl
I have tried two different laptops and one desk with integral ethernet card - no wireless. Same symptoms occur with all three boxes plus the Ubiquiti and Linksys are exhibiting the same behavior relative to the password.
I have just finished recovering the Linksys WRT54GL v1.1. The Ubiquiti did the same thing relative to setting the password. I had to take it back to default. Very strange as a couple of years back I set up 11 Linksys boxes with no issues. They worked well and allowed me to set up remote sensors.
I am obviously doing something not required or not doing something that is required but thus far it has eluded my search efforts.
I upgraded the Linksys box to version 3.1.0 using the TRX file. It came up as expected, allowed me to log in with User ID [root] and Password [hsmm]. I changed the Node Name to WD4HXG-27530-01 and set the password. Then clicked on "Saved Changes".
The box rebooted. I attempted to use the http://WD4HXG-27530-01.local.mesh:8080 string in the browser URL field. The retort was "Timeout"
I then used IPCONFIG to check the status of the ethernet connection and it had pulled an IP Address. The gateway value in the network connection had automagically been set to 10.10.88.177. I pinged that IP Address and received a response. I went back to the browser, entered 10.10.77.177:8080 and Voila. I was taken to the initial screen.
Then clicking on the "Setup" button I was challenged for the User ID and Password. For the User ID I entered "root", and then the password I assigned earlier. The login screen refreshed but did not allow me to enter setup. I tried a couple of more times but was not allowed to enter. I also tried the original default of "root" and "hsmm" a few times.
I finally used the reset routine to induce the DMZ to a blinking state and ran the steps in Telnet to reset the password.
I had the same issue with the Ubiquiti. Had to go back, reset the password on it. I plan to continue to see if I can identify the error of my ways but at this time I am at a loss. :-) Chuck

San Jose, Cupertino?
I'm thinking of buying this one for my node:
http://www.amazon.com/Yagi-Antenna-2-4GHz-17dBi-Angle/dp/B008Z4I7WQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1440835332&sr=1-2&keywords=17dbi+wifi+antenna
It is female N-type connector then running LMR-400 coax to my router and living with the loss instead of mounting the WRT54G on the mast.

Topic :
Alternate to APRS
I'm new to HSMM-Mesh myself. But I would imagine now that Ubiquiti M9 devices are now supported, that might be a better match for a mobile application such as what you are thinking of. The 900Mhz band would be a little less crowded in most areas and also it is a little more suitable for an omni directional antenna set up than the higher 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz frequencies. But like I said, I'm no expert and I may be completely wrong in my assumption. N4TNA Chris

Topic :
Lynksis vs Ubiquiti Help Me Decide
I am just getting interested in HSMM-MESH and I'm having trouble deciding where to start. I see advantages and disadvantages with both Lynksis and Ubiquiti products. Linksys operates on 12 volts, dual diversity antennas, and has both a Wan port and a built in 4 port switch. Both are good advantages, but the output power is kind of low and to connect better antennas you have to factor in coax losses. Ubiquiti devices on the other hand have a better output power and some models connect directly to the antenna with a built-in N type connector. Dissadvantages are only one ethernet port and 24volt poe. What do you gurus recommend as a first setup to prove concept and get other people excited about HSMM-Mesh. Mainly I want to impress the local Emergency Management Director with the capability and get him onboard with getting an established network in the area.
Thanks for your advise N4TNA Chris |

HSMM Linksys unknown password
KF5JIM your video on user name and password recovery is vary help full. But my linksys WRT54GL will not go into the failsafe mode by pressing the reset button and holding it. Is there a trick to this version linksys?

At this point, I could only realistically set up a setup in San Jose (@37.25192,-121.812908). I have the WRT router, is this still the best option? What would I want to do in the way of antennas? -- Ben (now K6BHB)

Not sure about Richmond, but we are picking up here in Tidewater area. Eventually with the goal of making it up the peninsula and into the Richmond area. Got a long way to go on this end, but making progress. Dave |

Hi Dave,
Glad to hear you are considering setting up some nodes at your location. My node up up about 15-20 feet on a fiberglass mast and I have turned it to the west to try to link with your node. You will likely need a higher gain directional antenna if you hope to connect to anyones nodes.
I also highly recommend that you list your nodes location on the official map on this site. Here is the link: ( http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/googlemapped-mesh-nodes.html ). This will allow myself and other hams to more accurately aim our antennas at your node, which is vital if we hope to link our nodes. I believe you are to the west of me up the hill. If that is correct then you are in a prime position to link to various nodes all over the South bay area. Ideally you would want to end up with multiple nodes, each aiming directional antennas at different nodes in the valley below.
Hope this info helps,
73!
