No surprise, it's running firmware 3.3.22 from 2017. The oldest firmware on their website is 3.7.58 from 2019. I tried to tell it to update to that firmware, but I think the firmware is no longer there, because I get this error: BZ.v3.3.22# upgrade https://dl.ui.com/unifi/firmware/U2Sv2/3.7.58.6385/BZ.qca9342.v3.7.58.6385.170508.0942.bin Downloading firmware from 'https://dl.ui.com/unifi/firmware/U2Sv2/3.7.58.6385/BZ.qca9342.v3.7.58.6385.170508.0942.bin'. --2022-08-03 11:28:41-- https://dl.ui.com/unifi/firmware/U2Sv2/3.7.58.6385/BZ.qca9342.v3.7.58.6385.170508.0942.bin Resolving dl.ui.com... failed: Connection timed out. wget: unable to resolve host address `dl.ui.com' Image short, header truncated. Invalid firmware. It can ping the host dl.ui.com, so I think the "unable to resolve" message is referring to the file, and not the host. The discovery tool can find it, so it looks like my best bet is to reset it and try to update it from the controller (I was able to d/l controller 5.10.17, which is the oldest on their website. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 8/2/2022 11:01 PM, Craig Baird wrote: I think if you download an old controller version from before the EOL, you can probably manage it. Go to: https://www.ui.com/download/unifi/ Scroll down past the "Firmware" section to the "Software" section. Below that, click the button that says "See Past Software". Controller versions there go back to 2019. I've not done this before, but it seems like it should work. Just keep in mind that since it's not the same controller that was used to adopt and set up the AP, you'll probably have to physically reset the AP before the controller will allow you to adopt and do anything with it. And of course, if you reset the AP, and then find out that the old controller version somehow knows it's EOL, then you're completely hosed and have effectively just bricked the AP. I doubt that will happen, but I've doubted a lot of things that did happen, so take that for what it's worth. :) Craig On Tue, Aug 2, 2022 at 7:53 PM Bill Prince <part15...@gmail.com <mailto:part15...@gmail.com> > wrote: Welp, it's been about 3 years since I've needed to make any changes to the Unifi AP-LR that we installed way back in 2015 (I think). Durn thing works really well. So well, in fact, that I haven't made any changes in it since before the pandemic (maybe longer). Today, my SO asked me to change the WiFi PW. She asked if it's a big deal. Nope I answer (confident as usual). Gosh darn, the Unifi controller is no longer on my desktop (no surprise, I replaced the desktop a couple years ago. I go to the Ubiqiti web site to D/L the controller,etc. and find that that model was EOL'd back in 2021. Sheesh. What do I do now? The thing works as well (or better) than any WiFI AP I've had before, so I am loath to replace the thing just to change the PW. What's the best way to deal with this? -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
