...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

Default SSH Password: ubnt /ubnt

Strategy: Ditch the Ubiquiti Firmware and install OpenWRT.

Install version 3.7.58 firmware;

  • scp root@192.168.2.4:/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@192.168.2.4:/OpenWRT_SysUpgrade.bin /tmp (pick your version, ubnt_unifiac-pro-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin in this example)
  • mtd write OWS.bin kernel0
  • dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/mtd4

...and if that don't work, break out the soldering iron and attach some pins for JTAG / Serial.
