Are there instructions on the site for those people who have Ubiquiti radios running BBHN and want to change them over to Aredn firmware? I found instructions about going from UBNT to Aredn and in my experience, that is only half the work. I've had to flash the node back to UBNT before going to Aredn. Is this correct?

Go into BBHN, Setup, upgrade firmware, point to the AREDN file, upgrade.
After updating, setup your device (node name, password, channel, bandwidth, distance value), save and reboot.
Done.
Thanks for the help.

Hi, I have a similar question but for hsmm-bbhn Mesh AP conversion to AREDN Mesh.
I have already followed your instructions and converted two loco M2 nodes and one airgrid M2 to AREDN. I have a loco M2 and a nanostation M2 that are hsmm-bbhn Mesh AP nodes. I want to make them AREDN Mesh nodes. They do work as is on the AREDN mesh.
I haven't touched this stuff in a couple of years so I don't even recall how to get the APs back to hsmm-bbhn Mesh nodes.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

These steps worked for me.
Change computer IP to 172.27.0.100, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
Attach etherenet cable of MESH AP to computer
In Internet Explorer go to "http://172.27.0.2:8080/. The Mesh AP window will appear.
Go to setup and change from Mesh AP to Mesh Node.
Save & Reboot.
The Ubiquiti Loco M2 or NS M2 is now a BBHN Mesh node.
Change IP back to Dynamic IP
Now proceed with the typical upgrade to AREDN firmware as described elsewhere.
