Flashing the Firmware

If your Ubiquiti device is running AirOS 3.0 or greater, you can flash the firmware via the web UI upgrade procedure described here in Ubiquiti's online manual: Firmware Upgrade.

NOTE: if you use the web UI you MUST reset the configuration after the upgrade: Configuration Management

The more reliable method is to use TFTP to update the firmware. Using this method, configuration reset is not required.

TFTP upgrade using Linux or Mac

  1. Connect to the Ubiquiti to the network using its LAN Port
  2. Configure your computer to have the IP address: 192.168.1.254
  3. Connect your computer to the device with a cross-over cable or network switch
  4. Disconnect the power the the Ubiquiti device
  5. Locate and press the 'reset' button on the device
  6. Reconnect the device to power and hold the reset button for 10 seconds
  7. Release the reset button
  8. From your laptop, confirm that you can communicate with the device by issuing:
    • ping 192.168.1.20
  9. On your laptop, issue the following commands to upload the firmware:
    • tftp 192.168.1.20
    • bin
    • put <name of your firmware file>
  10. Once the firmware has uploaded, the signal level LEDs on the device will blink.
  11. Wait at least 10 minutes before attempting to connect to the device.
  12. Confirm that the flash completed successfully by telnetting into the device with username/pwd ubnt/ubnt:
    • telnet 192.168.1.20
    • grep "inveneo" /tmp/system.cfg
  13. You should see output like:
    • org.inveneo.rip=enabled
    • org.inveneo.rip.export.kernel-routes=disabled
    • org.inveneo.strip.default-route=disabled
    • org.inveneo.rip.config.manual=disabled
    • org.inveneo.ospf=disabled

    • ping 192.168.1.20
  9. From the command line, issue this command
    • tftp -i 192.168.1.20 put <name of your firmware file>
  10. Once the firmware has uploaded, the signal level LEDs on the device will blink.
