Hi all,

I downloaded the image openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-unifi-outdoor-squashfs-factory.bin upload it to the /tmp directory changed the file permissions in winscp which i uploaded the image sshed into the AP with an ubuntu laptop and issued fwupdate.real -m openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-unifi-outdoor-squashfs-factory.bin -d command as instructed but keep getting the error below:

BZ.v3.2.10# fwupdate.real -m openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-unifi-outdoor-squashfs-
factory.bin -d

Couldn't open image file: openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-unifi-outdoor-squashfs-factory.bin!

Could anyone help with with how to properly do this?

Just google for "how to install openwrt on ubiquiti" there are also lots of examples on OpenWrt WIKI.

The discussion might have continued from here.
