After running some iperf tests repeating with client isolation off to test airmax on/off @ 40mhz and 20mhz channel width for some statistics, we disabled https and went back to http on port due to a bug that would prevent us from accessing the web interface and would require a power cycle. Anyway, we had this happen and power cycled, unfortunately it would power up, the lan light would light for a few seconds and then turn off and never come back on, zero ethernet. This thing is running 5.0.2 and I just fired it up for the first time this afternoon to run these tests with two NSM5's as clients. Not sure if me beating on it (and it being defective) caused this or what. A little help fellas? Thanks in advance!

Hey Tony,
Can you perform a factory firmware recovery on the device and see if it responds?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike - Appreciate the quick response. Unfortunately, it doesn't respond to pings, therefore will be unable to tftp. =\

It wont respond if your force it into TFTP from cold boot?

Hmmmm, now it is... Lights are flashing like it's in tftp mode, just getting tftp on my laptop (have the rocket and 120 up on a shelf) and will flash the firmware to it again and report back... Thanks Mike.

Mike, that fixed it, that thing went crazy. Back up as the AP with both nano M5's connected as clients to test bidirectional repeating (again) to see what the ACCESS POINT is capable of handling. I am VERY impressed with this new product, ordered some bullets, a couple rocket dishes, and a couple more rockets today!

Fault Alarm.
It responds to ping but at 10mb/full.
Now I have another 2 rocket M5 working at 10mb/full :S

Hello, I know this is an old thread, but I have kind of a similar problem. The main difference is that my rocket does not respond to ping in Cold Boot TFTP mode. I plugged it into a managed switch, I can see the ethernet address on it, I see packet traffic fro and to the rocket, but nothing happens. I'm puzzled and I don't know what to do. Please advise. Thank you
