Estimate date of release?

[cinders]

Is there any news on the release of the image?

Any rough estimates for the date?

Hi Cinders,

If you are comfortable with command-line linux then you can use a modern (SVN) build of OpenWRT linux. It had Madwifi wireless drivers built-in.

All competition entries (4 of currently with Ubiquiti) are all built around OpenWRT AFAIK.

It also does depend on what you're application is - like whether you want to build point-to-point links or make base stations & client access points or deploy "walled garden" hot-spots, etc.

What are you trying to do?

Hi!

I'm interested to build RS with 3 cards:
1 wl_card: CLIENTl
2 wl_cards: AP and AP-WDS
No Nat, no specific routing...

Can I download some interface to test..?
regards,
Janis

Hi guys,

Actually I've never used a graphical interface to OpenWRT myself (I've been using the shell prompt forever) but perhaps you could try the LuCI interface (standard graphical interface included with OpenWRT).

I'd still recommend installing OpenWRT and then configuring to your exact requirement via a telnet / ssh login.

Useful docs for OpenWRT: -

I emailed Ubiquiti last week asking for a status update on the judging and they informed me that it will be another week or two before they make a decision on the contest winner(s). Downloadable code and firmware will probably be available shortly after they make an announcement.

For reference, once the contest is over I'll be starting a project page with source code access, downloads (ipk, src, and built firmware), and documentation. I've already made numerous improvements to PyCI that didn't make it into my final entry (sigh).

From the looks of what you're trying to do I'm sure PyCI will provide the necessary GUI bits to configure what you want. Just go to Network->Wireless and select "wds" from the "mode" menu on an existing wifi-iface or add a new, WDS-only wifi-iface (the options are fairly straightforward--just click the "Add New Virtual Wireless Interface" button =). PyCI follows the configuration logic of OpenWRT's /etc/config/* files so if you find an existing /etc/config/wireless configuration that you want to copy you can either copy & paste it directly or just configure the very same elements via the GUI. Every option has a help tooltip/pop-up that (hopefully) explains what each option does.

Note to self: I just noticed a tooltip help bug in the wifi-iface configuration GUI. Doh! A one-line fix, sigh... Easy to miss.

Thanks 4info!

I've been configuring commandline, 2 times almost everything was ok, I started to "tune up something"; misconfigured something. ///////////// Bouth times I lost connectivity to router. As I'm having no serial cable, I found the only possibility to reflash with DD-WRT; setting was deleted and I flashed back to OpenWrt...

Hey Guys,

Sorry about the late reply, I didn't get any e-mail notification to say someone had replied...
I am using the Routerstation purely as an Internet gateway for my hotspots.

This is what I require it to do:

PPPoE on WAN Port
DynDNS
Firewall
QoS
Coova Chilli

I am currently using Avila Gateworks boards with DD-WRT. However due to my location these boards are very expensive and hard to source (I have to import from Europe)

I can buy the Routerstation here very cheap and they are ideal for what I want, however I am not used to CLI interface (I'm a Windows guy!) and don't really have time to learn at the moment.

I did try DD-WRT on the Routerstation, however this has an old version of Chillispot that is broken at the moment (it locks up)

Cinders.

P.S. Does anyone have any info regarding the 2nd LAN port. Is this broken from factory? I have several boards and this port seems dead.

You'll be happy to know that you can configure all of these things very easily with PyCI. Also, once you have them configured just the way you want you can use the "Backup and Restore" feature to save your config and "restore" it to another RouterStation to clone the settings.

The only thing my firmware is missing is an init script for Coova Chilli. For some reason the package doesn't come with one and I never had time to figure out why or how to construct one. PyCI can configure Coova Chilli just fine but you'll have to copy an init script from somewhere else until the devs fix the package (I'll see if I can fix the package myself at some point if no one gets around to it).

P.S. Does anyone have any info regarding the 2nd LAN port. Is this broken from factory? I have several boards and this port seems dead.

I thought it was just me! My second LAN port doesn't work either. I was guessing that I was a bit too rough when I installed my RS into my home-made enclosure but apparently that isn't the case. If *everyone* is having this issue it might be an OpenWRT bug because I doubt Ubiquiti would ship out masses of faulty hardware.

Now you have me curious... I'm going to investigate this.

[cinders]

Hey Riskable,

When will your image be available?

Could you e-mail me? (matt"at"bluechipsamui"dot"com)

I'd love to have a 2nd working LAN port on my RS. I have a few installations where I could use the 2nd LAN port instead of installing an extra switch/hub.

I reflashed. Now (wait 5 min + rebooted (power-off) some times); --> at booting
RF Led starts to blink , later stays ON.

Something wrong, don/t answer to pings..
J:?

I just flashed with that image to test it (I forgot it existed, LOL) and it came up just fine.

Important FYI: The openwrt trunk snapshot uses 192.168.1.1, not 192.168.1.20 like Ubiquiti's images.

[repsons]

> > but this openwrt-ar71xx-ubnt-rs-jffs2.bin, not responding to ping. ssh, but RF led is off.

*later RF led comes up, and really no pings, too.:(((
*yep, I didn't understand port-3 (lan2) issue. Mine always is Off. Generally, is it normal?

[dconnrt]

Hi repsons,

When you flash the generic [trunk] OpenWRT image into a router station does it not reply fromm 192.168.1.1 afterwards?

I created new thread under Routerstation folder in the forum.

Stupid question.

I guess this contest it about RouterStation not RouterStation Pro right?
Is there any chance of a stable firmware image for the next weeks for RS-Pro?
Does anybody knows anything about?

Please point me in the right direction, very curious about it.
Thanks.

I'll see if I can get a RouterStation Pro firmware out as well as the regular RouterStation image. Even if I don't get around to it I'll be releasing everything you'd need to make your own image.

[FCC-PT]

That's very cool from you...
I'm not sure I can do it but I'm very interested.
At the moment I'm very concentrated in maths, programming...
I'm studing so many things at the moment I might go crazy ;)

Congratulations for all your good work with the pyci interface it's amazing you're very skilled.

[repsons]

Dear Ubiquiti,

What happens, if we have nothing new to download!?

[FCC-PT]

Where are you riskable?

Still waiting for your help...
greetings

[jzeller]

It appears that I should have taken that bet against Riskable for the release date. Either there is a major bug or UBNT is going to hold this one out for an entire month. I dunno about the rest of you but this wait is a killer. We have stopped development now for 3 weeks waiting for a release. Any chance you winners got your money and are willing to bypass UBNT :) JK. Hope we see something soon. From the sound of it even UBNT doesn't know what's going on. Not a good sign. Here it is Monday and no update so guess I will check in next week. Really hoping to be proved wrong here. :(

[K8487]

Is there any update for the release date yet????

[dconnrt]

Hi Cinders,

Not yet - Myself I'm on-hold waiting for details from Mike in Ubiquiti about Wiki access for documentation and stuff. If you are interested in my firmware (#35) for now please PM me

Hey guys,

Should be up in a day or two.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike Disgusting and I have objection against it Pornovideos Total Disgusting

[rakpatel]

Is it what your site promoting .........??????????????????

[Dave-D]

C'mon Rak. Mike and Ubiquiti have nothing
to do with these postings. They have
removed them. Dave

[FCC-PT]

Will it be released for both RS and RS Pro platforms?
Thanks.

[rakpatel]

C'mon Rak. Mike and Ubiquiti have nothing
to do with these postings. They have
removed them. Dave

Thanks Mike and Also thx Dave. What was my intension is Such thing should be prevented. This is useful forum to all of use and as well for UBNT.

I do keep noticing that some time some garbage character posts appears, you can see on this forum site. And frequency of it keep increasing, what is that? Is somebody purposefully doing this or something technically wrong ? Just curiosity....

Regards

[Dave-D]

It's the choice between an open and
moderated forum, Rak. If you allow
anybody to register and post, some
idiots will abuse the system.

If all posts are monitored, that means
that Mike would have to look at each
one and decide to release it. Can you
imagine the burden that would create? Dave

[rakpatel]

Dave again it appears some russian stuff. I think you are right about burden. But I am filling same guys or girls or ? and same kind of stuff again and again. Here they should appoint some body worldwide to moderate when they are sleeping there in US we are awake

[Dave-D]

You have the option of ignoring it, Rak.
A title with 'girls' in it should not be
intensely vulgar. Dave
