...just some rough notes on accessing a Ubiquiti device (not Ubiquity)
Device: Ubiquity UniFi AP AC Pro Generation 2 (with system board that says Generation 2, but doesn't match any other picture on the internet for a Generation 2 device)
Default IP Address: 192.168.1.20 (but watch out, if a DHCP server is available, it will obtain an IP from that pool)
Default SSH Password: ubnt /ubnt
Strategy: Ditch the Ubiquiti Firmware and install OpenWRT.
Install version 3.7.58 firmware (the below assumes the file is renamed to 3.7.58.bin);
- scp root@WhatEverIPAddress:/3.7.58.bin /tmp (make sure it has access to a Linux device to use SCP)
- fwupdate.real -m /tmp/3.7.58.bin (the ".real" supposedly updates the boot code)
Install OpenWRT;
- scp root@WhatEverIPAddress:/OpenWRT_SysUpgrade.bin /tmp (pick your version, ubnt_unifiac-pro-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin in this example)
- mtd write WhatEverOpenWRTFileName.bin kernel0
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/mtd4- Reboot the device: reboot
- ..."look for it" at 192.168.1.1
...and if that don't work, break out the soldering iron and attach some pins for JTAG / Serial.
