Guys,
I need some help here
I just bought 2 of these Bullet M2 HP radios. I keep getting an error message telling me I am uploading the wrong firmware version.
I have looked through the forums and had seen that someone else had the same issue, so I downloaded that aredn-3.19.3.0-ubnt-rocket-m-xw-factory.bin
I get an error. So what is the correct firmware for this radio? Do i need to downgrade the firmware first? Or did I buy a radio that cannot be used?
unfortunately the sellers do not state what version of firmware is installed.

I assume that you are using the Ubiquiti operating system graphic user interface (web pages).
IIRC, with these new devices with more recent Ubiquiti OSs,
TFTP is the recommended upload method.
Chuck
Log in at the Ubiquiti AirOS page, and make sure of the chipset version for your Bullet: XW vs XM.
Older XM devices allowed you to update to AREDN from the AirOs page; new XW ones do not.
Make sure you have the correct AREDN factory image for your device, then use the tftp method shown in the documentation Chuck cited above.

I was able to use tftp to load the firmware, I can login to it from the lan, however the radio port is dead. I can see traffic on WiFi scan but I do not see any node activity. another note, when I plug the new Bullet into my Netgear 105S on the LAN 2 port I can see it in my node list. from other Nodes and vise versa. Can someone please advise?

Triple check that all 2GHz nodes have exactly the same settings for:
1) channel
2) channel width
3) SSID
If any of these are different between the nodes, then they will not link to one another over RF. A wifi scan will only show devices of the same channel width.

All working good now
