Steps
Enter Factory Reset Mode
- Unplug the ethernet from the antenna (This turns it off.)
- Use a paper clip to hold in the reset button
- Plug the ethernet back in to the antenna, holding the paperclip steady as you do
- Continue holding the paper clip until the light on the side of your UAP AC Mesh starts blinking OFF/WHITE/BLUE (should take about 30 seconds)
Set Up a Static IP Address
The next step is to assign your computer a static IP address of 192.168.1.25/24
- Windows: Setting a static IP address in Windows 10
- Mac: Setting a static IP address in OSX
- Linux: Setting a static IP address in Ubuntu 18.04 desktop
Downgrade Ubiquiti AirOS
Because we are "jailbreaking" the Ubiquiti router, we have to downgrade to an older version of their proprietary firmware first. Using a tool called TFTP, we can do this quite simply.
- Download version 3.7 of Ubiquiti's AirOS
- Rename the firmware file to
firmware.bin, as the device will look for this file name - Launch a command prompt/terminal, and enter the following, one line at a time:
tftp
tftp> connect 192.168.1.20 tftp> binary tftp> rexmt 1 tftp> timeout 60 tftp> put firmware.bin Sent x bytes in x seconds
