Unifi 6 LR openwrt

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello,

I have changed software on Unifi 6 LR Access point from original to openwrt. I used information from this site: https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/unifi_6_lr
Perhaps i made a mistake (i loaded wrong wersion of openwrt) because after reboot i cannot login to luci.
When i put in browser 192.168.1.1 i get white page with "OK".
When i put in browser http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/ i get "Not found"
I cannot to login to access point by putty, telnet, ftp etc.

Can you advise me any ideas how to solve problem?

thank you
Lukasz

You may have a v2 not a V3. The V3 came about due to a shortage of the 2.5 Gb Ethernet chips used in the V2. After the chips became available again, they started making V2 versions again. OpenWrt for v3 will not work on a V2 as well as vise versa.

Can you ping 192.168.1.1 from the PC?

Is the Unifi the only thing connected to your PC? Since OpenWrt will not do that it might be another device with the same IP.

I loaded v3.
I checked again. When my laptop is connected do access point i cannot ping it

Try ssh then. CLI ssh is now supported in Windows; open a Command Prompt and enter ssh root@192.168.1.1.

Hello

Sorry guys,
When i connected my laptop directly to access point i see nothing. I cannot ping, i see nothing in browser, i cannot login via ssh etc.

Well as noted above, OpenWrt doesn't do that, yet you received a page with OK. So we'll need more details from you.

Just to be clear, do you have anything else connected between the laptop and the Unifi?

Page "OK" was from other device from my network - during my test dispite of lan cable i was connected to my wifi network.

Now, i have cable connection only to access point and there is no ping.
I switch access point to failsafe mode (led blinks 10 times per seconds) but cannot login in to 192.168.1.1 (no pings)

It looks like access point does not have IP address.

  • Where was the cable before?
  • How did you install OpenWrt on the device if your laptop wasn't connected to it?

I installed openwrt by cable, after reboot there is no connection.

When i create this topic i wrote that i saw page "OK" and pings. It was from another device from my network. Not from access point.

Currently i use cable connection only to access point and there is no ping and i cannot connect.

I loaded wrong version openwrt to access point, and i worry that i can throw away this device.

Where was the cable when you installed OpenWrt?

11

Cable was connected to access point.
The same currently.
I have direct cable connection between laptop and access point.

It probably is a V2 then. The V2 loaded with V3 OpenWrt will flash the LED like it is booting normally but the Ethernet port will not work.

You don't have to throw it away. Use TFTP recovery to flash back to stock firmware then repeat the installation process with v2 OpenWrt.

Best regards

MK24 you are great.
I used TFTP recovery and Unify alived.
I installed V2 openwrt and everything is fine. Access point works!

Thank you so much
