I used  localnode:8080 and other noted permutations such as:

                      localnode.local.mesh:8080

                      wd4hxg-Sterling.local.mesh:8080

In the end with localnode:8080 entered in the browser

address URL field the browser timed out and displayed
the text you observed in the out take. Not sure why it
changing. If I discover the reason I will post it.

Just an observation:

The URL in the screen shot is incorrect.

Should be:

localnode:8080

this assumes that you are running firmware 3.x

You might be missing the time ranges by holding it too long. (more is not always better) The hold time ranges/functions are: 3-7 secs to reset password and enable dhcp (basic reset) 12-20 secs to reset to INITIAL state (where you need to specify your callsign and password) If these don't work, you can always do a TFTP firmware load.

On the WRT54GLs that I was given, they have version: 1.0.0. I want to bring them up to the latest version. I found the instructions and software downloads. I have Internet access, but have read that the Linksys cannot do the remote update due to limited memory (I do not know if this is always the case or not). Anyone know the answer to this?

Within the Administration page under Firmware Update, I found the following versions are available:

1. patch-3.1.0.tgz
2. bbhn-3.1.0-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx
3. bbhn-3.0.0-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx
4. bbhn-1.0.0-brcm.trx

From the software downloads page already mentioned, the list is much longer. So, my question is this. To get from 1.0.0.0 to the latest (I presume 3.1.0), do I need to do multiple updates to get from 1.0.0 to 2.4 to 3.1.0 or can I go direct? In other words, which do I update with and which order (if multiple)?

Well, I'd like to jump onboard.  I've got a wrt-54g, I don't think that will be any use.  May have to go the omni route.  I'm located in Newhall.

Excellent, thank you . . . instead of doing "setpasswd abc" (which did not seem to work for the password I entered), I did the "cat /etc/httpd.conf" (figured out why my password did not work, or at least it appeared it did not like some of the characters I entered).

Sorry, this post was meant for another thread that I started.

Take a look at my post here: http://www.hsmm-mesh.org/hsmm-mesh-forums/view-postlist/forum-3-firmware/topic-1670-i-forgot-the-setup-password-how-to.html

Someone gave me a couple of Linksys WRT54GL routers with HSMM-Mesh already installed. They changed the root password from hsmm to something that they do not remember. The instructions I found include installing from the factory image (not installed) or from the setup tab (which I do not have access to). My computers are Windows based. How to I reinstall or install a newer version without that access? If I need something on my computer (such as TFTP), which would you recommend? I have tried the standard way or resetting the router to reset the password, but that does not seem to work. I know the end of life for these have passed, just wanting to play until I can dig up Ubiquity or other routers.

Thank you,

Thomas

Thanks for taking the time to provide the method to

reset the device. Unfortunately it gave me the NATO

salute aka foreign military salute.

OK ---- Here is what I did.

1 Disconnect laptop wireless access to internet.

2 Set Wired LAN on laptop to DHCP

3 Pulled cable on Ubiquiti Bullet at the device for about two minutes

4 Reconnected Wired LAN Cable to Ubiquiti device.

5 Depressed Reset switch for about 10 seconds (if 5 works than 10 should work doubly good.)  :-)

6 Connected LAN cable to laptop.

7 Entered http://localnode:8080 in the URL line of the browser (Firefox)

8 The following screen pops up after timing out:

Checking IPCONFIG I have a non-routeable 169.X.X.X address on the Laptop NIC connected to the Ubiquiti device.

Getting very frustrated. Not to the point of putting the device on the drill press and going for maximum smoke but ideating it.   :-)

Thanks

Chuck

easy fix.

power the unit up fully (takes about 60 secs)

press the reset button for 5-6seconds.

access at:  http://localnode:8080

Well it appears I have created another fine mess. During the setup in the BBHN firmware I set the device to "Access Point" mode. This seems to remove access via the wired ethernet port. There is a discussion on just this problem but if I am reading it correctly the procedure works with Linksys boxes, not Ubiquiti linked to Linksys. 

http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/hsmm-mesh-forums/view-postlist/forum-3-firmware/topic-773-changed-node-to-qstandard-access-pointq-cant-get-out-of-it.html

It is not clear to me that this procedure can be used to recover the Ubiquiti device.

Ubiquiti's site has instructions for restoring the original firmware using tftp. Would it work to use their procedure to return the device to the original state or has loading the BBHN firmware forever blocked that option?

I have successfully loaded firmware on Linksys boxes without issue and really am puzzled by the difficulties being encountered with the Ubiquiti device.

I have installed the firmware and accessed the setup screen. Upon hitting "save" the screen displayed it would take 60 seconds to reboot. It provided the network address to enter:

localnode.local.mesh:8080

or

wd4hxg-Sterling.local.mesh:8080

to log back in. I tried both but the timeout message was displayed. Running IPCONFIG revealed a 169.x.x.x  address on the RJ-45 port on the computer. See the below take on the Command Line Display where the ipaddress is displayed.

I am currently lost. I have powered down the Bullet and brought it back up. Even after powering back up the default NOCALL-6-173-4 is displayed in the wireless connections window. If I disconnect the RJ-45 Ethernet connection the IP address for the wired lan is not displayed using ipconfig. Reconnecting the RJ-45 the 169.x.x.x address returns.

Any suggestions on accessing the device.

Thanks

Chuck
