Unifi u6+ failing to upgrade

· Errors, Hardware, Linux, Networking

I have quite a few sites where some Unifi U6+ Access Points fail to upgrade with a generic update failed message.

Marquis WiFi Vergaderruimte 4 update failed.

I've tried everything, from ssh'ing, factory resetting with set-default, to manually upgrading with upgrade, etc.

Nothing worked. I thought I had a bunch of bad APs (and many had their warranty expire by a few weeks or months).

As a last resort, I decide to reach out to Ubiquiti's support. First line wasn't very helpful, but as the case was escalated, I've managed to recover and properly update the APs.

Ideal travel router: GL-AR750S

Right. With the pandemic and all none of us are going to travel much but still...

About a year ago I purchased myself an OpenWRT router to use on the plane and in hotels.

And so far I really like both the device and the Hong Kong based brand (launching new and updated products, and releasing relatively regular updates for older products). Pick a device that fits your needs (USB powered? LTE? Small form factor?).

EVA and WiFi

· Networking, Travel

So I am flying EVA from SIN - TPE - JFK and back. For the first time I also went to the dark side (16hrs was too long to be locked up with just my mind) and got onboard WiFi.

This seems to come with unlimited data for ~20USD for 24hrs. I manage to stream Google Music just fine.

I totally went Matrix mode during the flight. While the flight is half empty I am wondering if they think I am haxoring it now.

FlatTurtle in elevators: making of

· Hardware

First tests at Glaverbel (circle or “O” shaped building) in Watermael-Boisfort with 12 lifts (about a year ago). Internet wiring makes a whole circle from the internet connection at the technical room (near entrance hall). In this design from the 1960s the lift machine rooms had one shared/common room where we installed switches (to avoid having to pull too much cable and to overcome cable length issues). High quality shielded cable was used to avoid signal loss over the distances we did.
