Hi all,
I'm sharing this info in case other communities outside of Newport
Wireless Mesh may find it useful. The Aruba AP175 is a high-power, stable,
electrically protected outdoor access point that I recently ported to
OpenWrt, and I hope other communities might get good use out of it. It's
old hardware, but very available, and for multiple reasons will likely
enjoy long-term supportability (ath9k, 128M RAM / 16M NOR).
Newport Wireless Mesh will continue to use Aruba AP175s that I have
personally flashed.
Van Tech Corner (THANK YOU, VAN!) did a video explaining how, given an
Aruba AP175 in unknown state, we can use a Raspberry Pi or CH341A and
16-pin Pomona chip clip to reflash the Aruba AP175 to a custom U-Boot
compatible with OpenWrt 23 and onwards:
