(1) Download the AirOS 5.5.x ﬁrmware executable from the Ubiquiti website. Choose XM or XW

(2) Start device into conﬁg/maintenance mode: in this precise order, unpower device,

conﬁgure PC into static IP 192.168.1.3 Netmask 255.255.255.0

press and maintain reset button

plug device in, release reset button as soon as LEDs blink (please wait 20-30 seconds)

(note 1: LED blink pattern is diﬀerent depending on device: Sometimes a single LED blinking 3/4

on, 1/4 oﬀ, sometimes two LEDs blinking "sideways")

(note 2: the static-IP connection to the device must be established before it boots into conﬁg

mode. It was tricky rebooting the device fast enough that the PC connection did not go down.

YMMV.)

(3) TFTP the AirOS 5.5.x ﬁrmware into the device:

tftp 192.168.1.20

(note: use this IP regardless of what ﬁrmware is already on the device)

tftp > bin

tftp > put complicatedfirmwarefilename.bin flash_upgrade

(note 1: this should only last 3 or 4 seconds, if not, you've done something wrong)

(note 2: it's possible that the device checks whether the ﬁrmware is version XW/XM at this point, and

refuse to load an incorrect ﬁrmware)

tftp > quit

(4) wait approx 10 minutes for the device to reboot (note: don’t try to be too smart, and be patient!)

(5) At this point the AirOS ﬁrmware is loaded, but the old settings are still in place. Here I was only

able to connect to the device via 192.168.1.1 with read-only credentials. To reset the settings (bu not

the ﬁrmware), when the device has already booted, press the reset button until LEDs blink, without

ever unplugging it.

(6) Now ﬁnally we have a factory-setting M5. It gives us an IP in DHCP, and the interface is at

192.168.1.20, login ubnt/ubnt

(7) And navigating in the admin interface, we can upload the Freifunk ﬁrmware for the M5, which we

download from https://md.freifunk.net/mitmachen/ﬁrmware/

(8) Upon reboot, the device (now on gluon ﬁrmware) starts in conﬁg mode and with the same static IP

set-up as before, we can access the set-up screen at http://192.168.1.1/ .

From now on, conﬁg mode is simply accessed by pressing reset button 5 seconds or so. There is no

need to reboot the device.

(9) Finally, do yourself/a future owner a favor: take a sharpie marker, and write down the type of

hardware (XW or XM) on the device itself!
