I have flashed hAP ACL units in the past and recently when I flashed a new hAP I am having problems with the "setup." I followed the instructions on the AREDN site and when I went to the setup page and added my Call Sign and PW then saved the changes all went well. When it rebooted and returned to the setup page I entered the SSID and freq; hit "save changes" the Site Cant Be reached page poped up. I did it numerous times with the same results. I cant get past the initial setup.
Equip:
W-10 current Ver
Netgear switch GS105
Cleared cashe in Chrome X5
Turned off computer WiFi
hAp shows 3.22.1.0 FW so guess the flashing took?
Reset network options after flashing, received 10.xxx. IP
Computer and hAP wired together on port 2. Was connected to switch but no change is result.
I noticed something I had not seen before and may give a clue as to what I have done or did not do. When looking at the networks available on computer I see the hAP with the id of MESHNode2G 4 not my call sign. I can access the node with localnode:8080 or Meshnode2g 4.
I'm quite sure I have forgotten something but I am at a loss to remember what!
Any help will be appreciated

I have never changed the SSID of a RB952. I will try this and see what happens.
If your RB952 is changing a configuration setting, it may be temporarily disabling its LAN and Wi-Fi ports.
Your computer may be interpreting this state as "This Site Cant Be reached!", because your RB952 stops responding for a moment (or 16 moments).
After a reboot or firmware upgrade, sometimes my RB952 goes 'dormant' for up to 17 minutes.
I hope this helps,
Chuck
