Ubiquiti UniFi AP Outdoor SWX-M2
The first version of UniFi AP Outdoor has the FCC ID SWX-M2. The hardware is very similar to NanoStation M2 (FCC ID SWX-M2N) and UniFi AP Outdoor Plus (FCC ID SWX-UAPOUTDOOR). The UniFi AP Outdoor (SWX-M2) can be flashed with NanoStation M2 OpenWrt images.
Supported Versions
Experimental Versions
The latest OpenWrt version built for the NanoStation M2 having only 32MB of RAM is 22.03.x. The UniFi AP Outdoor has 64MB of RAM. The hardware is also very similar to the UniFi AP Outdoor Plus model, which is supported in newer OpenWrt versions. It hasn't been tested yet, but it has a chance of working. However, images need an adaptation to 8MB flash layout of the non-Plus model vs. Plus's 16MB.
Hardware Highlights
The CPU is possibly AR7242 as in UniFi AP Outdoor Plus.
