Not able to get this device flashed, either through physical reset or try-ethernet-once-than-nand options using windows.
RouterOS 6.47.8, connected via switch as documented.
-Renamed the initramfs-kernel file to rb.elf. rb.elf copied into the files folder
-rfc951=1 added to config.ini (complete file below)
-tiny pxe configured per install documentation
"Continue holding the reset button until you see TFTPd: DoReadFile: rb.elf in the Tiny PXE log window."
I see communication with the device during this process, but never see TFTPd: DoReadFile:, even holding the reset button for around 1 minute.
with the try-ethernet-once-than-nand technique, I see communication, but never see any read for over 30 minutes.
never see the device reboot
after hard reboot, hAP comes up in factory configuration.
Have gone through multiple iterations of this. How long does the upload take? Am I missing something?
tiny pxe config.ini. Do I need to hard code the full path to the rb.elf?

I presume that you are referring to to this. If so, it is off. I have some screen captures, but was not able to upload them at the time. Have tried hard reboot and "try-ethernet-once-than-nand" methods.

Since I am using Windows, I followed the document listed in post #2.
I do always put a dumb switch in between the node and the PC - although this is more for the PC rather than the node.
I have also tried wiring straight to port 1 of the AC3 without any success. I have re-downloaded both firmwares, TinyPXE and wiped the config.ini in case there was any corruption.
At this point I am tempted to attempt to reinstall/upgrade RouterOS with the Netinstall procedure. What is the latest approved version for the AC3?
