Hi all,
I could have sworn I read a recent post (that I now can't find) that stated the Rocket M900 is not useful since it won't transmit on/is not close enough to Amateur Radio 900 MHz frequencies after the firmware upgrade. The Rocket M9 will work, however.
In the DOWNLOAD section, I see firmware for the M9, not the M900.
Twice I've tried to order from Amazon the Rocket M9 - and it's listed as the Rocket M9 with different order numbers - only to receive a Rocket M900. Heck, the prices were even different! (Yeah, it's possible Amazon just sent the wrong one.)
CDW sells a Rocket M9. I even asked their online tech support. They call it a M9, NOT a M900.
Before I send the Rocket M900s back - and order what SHOULD BE the Rocket M9, is this even necessary? Will the CURRENT Rocket M900 - the one I have has a manufacture date of 10/2019 - work properly?
Thanks!

So I finally got my Rocket M900s installed with the current firmware 3.20.3.0.
I'm able to set the password, node name, and channel (listed in MHz, however). I am not able to set the power level or location. Every time I hit "Apply" (on power) or "Apply Location Settings," I receive a "lost connection error." I get the same error if I click on Reboot.
I reinstalled the firmware, yet the same errors occur after I connect to the unit and try to update the power/location settings.
Anyone else experience these issues?
Thanks.

Please correct me if I am guessing wrong.
You have just loaded aredn-3.20.3.0-ath79-ubnt_rocket-m-factory.bin on your Rocket-M9 and
you only have set the Node Name, password, distance to furthest node, and rebooted.
After reboot, then you cannot set power settings et cetera?

Yeah, pretty much. :-(

Essentially, I started from scratch.
I downloaded a fresh copy of the current firmware to a different machine. I reset the M900 and installed the latets firmware again.
And now it's fine.
Maybe something got corrupted along the way.
Anyway, all set!
Thanks.
