h1. How to configure ubiquiti network equipment {{toc}} {{ toc }} h2. General steps * Reset the device * ssh into it (username: ubnt, password: ubnt) * Setup a password h2. Upgrading most ubiquiti access points * Dowload the latest firmware from https://www.ui.com/download * scp it to the device as /tmp/fwupdate.bin * ssh into the device, run @syswrapper.sh upgrade2 &@ (seems to need to be backgrounded) h2. Enabling ssh access without a password * Add your public RSA (ed25519 don't work) to /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys h2. Configuring Wifi * Download the "unifi network" app * Go to account->standalone devices : wait for the aps to show up h2. Installing OpenWRT on AP Lite/LR/Pro Stock ubiquiti does not work in IPv6 only environments. So replacing the stock firmware with OpenWRT makes them usable. * Update ("downgrade") to firmware version 3.7.58 ** https://dl.ui.com/unifi/firmware/U7PG2/3.7.58.6385/BZ.qca956x.v3.7.58.6385.170508.0957.bin * Get the latest openwrt image ** Check https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/unifiac * Use mtd to replace it * Use mtd to erase kernel1 * Set the boot loader to 0 ** write a 0 o the mtd partition "bs" Sample session (don't copy and paste) <pre> [20:14] manager:~% wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.3/targets/ath79/generic/openwrt-19.07.3-ath79-generic-ubnt_unifiac-lite-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin [20:14] manager:~% scp openwrt-19.07.3-ath79-generic-ubnt_unifiac-lite-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin ubnt@[2a0a:e5c0:13:0:f29f:c2ff:fef3:cbe4]: [20:14] manager:~% ssh ubnt@2a0a:e5c0:13::f29f:c2ff:fef3:cbe4 BZ.v3.7.58# mtd write openwrt-19.07.3-ath79-generic-ubnt_unifiac-lite-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin kernel0 BZ.v3.7.58# mtd write openwrt-19.07.3-ath79-generic-ubnt_unifiac-lite-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin kernel0 Unlocking kernel0 ...
