[WISPA] Baby, it's cold out there! Bullet5M has the flu.
Was out last night at 11:30, up on top of a grain bin trying to figure out why my network was dropping out. Using UBNT for the backhaul in this section so I was using the Ubiquiti Discovery tool. I would see NO UBNT equipment, then I'd see a few then all then none, etc. Finally traced it down to a Bullet5 M HP. The thing was in a constant reset mode but not one I'd seen before. Some of the early units (and this is an early unit) would have the reset button stuck in because of the lack of clearance around the hole that the reset button is in.. but this one, the RSSI lights were pegged to the max but that's normal on this install. I Could see the signal with my laptop but couldn't talk to the unit through the lan. I took the antenna off of it and the RSSI stayed all the way pegged. Tried to reset it, no go. Finally went down to the van, got another Bullet, replaced it and configured it all the while fighting the wind.. Shsh... took it home and when I fired it up I lost all the 5ghz signal from my other equipment in the room. Tried other channels, all gone. My guess is, the Bullet was stuck in some some sort of loop and was broadcasting all across the spectrum at once. That would explain why, out in the field, I would lose everything like a roller coaster. After about an hour of warming up I was able to reset it, flash the firmware just to be sure it wasn't a firmware issue and set it out in the cold to test it. Working fine this morning as a test unit but I've never seen one blast the entire spectrum at once. Or at least all the channels in such a quick succession. Does anyone know if the Bullets will quickly run through all the channels during boot up? That's my only guess, that it was stuck and was just going through all the channels with no end. Had me totally confused and I'm already partially there to begin with. Robert West Just Micro Digital Services Inc. 740-335-7020 Logo5 image001.gif WISPA Wants You!

Is this the thread where we try to one up each other with the odd things that our Ubiquiti gear does? If so, I had a Nanostation talking to a Rocket, both in bridge mode, with Mikrotik's on the wired side at both ends, showing up as a hop in a traceroute. Traceroute would show other hosts on the network (correctly) then the MT on the Rocket end, then the Nanostation, and then the MT on the Nanostation end. I double and triple checked that the radios were set as bridges. WISPA Wants You!

LOL!

Re: [WISPA] Baby, it's cold out there! Bullet5M has the flu.
I have one of those too, but it was my fault. The advice from UBNT to fix the issue of them constantly resetting due to the lack of clearance around the reset button was to enlarge the hole. I enlarged it and the reset button popped out. I just figured Problem solved!.
