 +====== Ubiquiti PowerBeam M ======
 +The [[http://www.ubnt.com/airmax/powerbeam/ | Ubiquiti Networks® PowerBeam®]] devices are CPE equipment for customer locations with one Ethernet port and a 2 GHz (PBE-M2-x00) or 5 GHz (PBE-M5-x00) wireless interface.

 +<WRAP center round alert 90%>
 +Warning! **Do NOT flash** if AirOS version is 5.6 or higher!! Downgrade first with AirOS 5.5.x
 +</WRAP>
 + 
 +Downgrade to [[https://dl.ubnt.com/firmwares/XW-fw/v5.6.15/XW.v5.6.15-sign.31612.170908.1440.bin|XW AirOS 5.6.15]] in the Web interface.
 +
 +Then to [[https://dl.ubnt.com/firmwares/XW-fw/v5.5.10/XW.v5.5.10-u2.28005.150723.1358.bin|XW AirOS 5.5.10]] using TFTP recover mode and then flash OpenWrt Firmware using TFTP
 +
 +Downgrading to 5.5.10 via TFTP might not work (firmware not accepted). Logging in via ssh and using fwupdate.real as per [[toh/ubiquiti/nanobeam|Nanobeam instructions]] might work. See also: [[https://gist.github.com/csamsel/37e14e2280b6c48bc8e4486b50b3a61c|this method of downgrading]], but instead of flashing the gluon firmware, use the 5.5.10-u2 firmware instead. This will update u-boot to a non-signature checking version.
 +
 +If anyone knows a method of non-destructively opening the case, reaching the serial console and/or the SPI flash will open other methods.
 +
 +Works fine. It seems so that the XW Ethernetbug is not present in the Powerbeams.
 +
 +==== Powerbeam M5-300 ====
 +The powerbeam-m5-xw 22.03.x image does not work with the Powerbeam M5-300. It seems that it boots, but no LAN connection is possible. The nanobeam-m5-xw 22.03.x image instead works.
 +
 +===== TFTP recovery =====
 +
 +Hold down reset button while plugging in at least 30 seconds until LED 1 & 3 is altenating to LED 2 & 4.
 +See also: [[https://commotionwireless.net/docs/cck/installing-configuring/install-and-recover-tftp/|TFTP recovery and LED codes]]
 +Setup your computer to 192.168.1.5/24, start TFTP transfer:
 +
 +<code>
 +tftp 192.168.1.20
 +tftp> bin
 +tftp> trace
 +tftp> put XW.v5.5.10-u2.28005.150723.1358.bin
 +tftp> quit
 +</code>
 +
 +Note: starting with the u-boot in ubiquiti's XW.v6.3.x, the urescue mode (tftp recovery) will try to get a DHCP lease, so the target address may *NOT* be 192.168.1.20. You can either check your DHCP server for the allocated address or you can execute the tftp recovery on an isolated network without a DHCP server or you can disconnect the ethernet until after the DHCP requests have timed out (there aren't good cues on exactly when, an isolated network is more robust).
