I got a rollover cable and was able to actually see what was going on with the router i was troubleshooting. I spent 4 hours trying to get it working. Trying every recovery method and flashing new firmware and nothing worked. Turns out it was an issue with the internal storage being faulty and after swapping that out its all running smooth and I didnt waste $70 on a piece of junk. By running smooth I mean its booting and I can access the web UI and configure things. I still cant figure out how to get internet through it but thats a battle for tomorrow.

That clearly is a RTFM situation …

I read the manual and followed every single troubleshooting step ubiquity had on their website and none worked. I tried every variation of every step. Only 3rd party forums had helpful advice even if most of their links were dead.

I may have missed something because im kinda dumb but the manual was the first place I looked for solutions.

Did you get it working?

[–] Fizz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah got it all working and now I'm gonna try sneakily drill a hole in the floor to run cable to my office. I'm sure the landlord won't notice.

That’s great news. Drilling a hole though? I fitted a Powerline adapter to get internet out to our sleepout. You won’t get full speed like you would with a cable, but no holes in floor needed. That said, for an office you probably need decent speed.

I have a powerline adapter but I find it has a lot of packet loss and my use case is gaming so I want as stable a connection as possible.
