• $fwupdate -m /tmp/fwupdate.bin

There are 3 main ways to get file to device. For First and second option you need to dl firmware onto computer

• Windows: Use Winscp to transfer file to location. Be sure to have winscp set to scp mode, not sftp
• Linux: $scp [user]@[dest IP] [local location file] [remote location]

SSH into device:

• cd /tmp/
• $wget [firmware url]
• $mv firmware fwupdate.bin
• $fwupdate -m /tmp/fwupdate.bin

Tip: the link of file can be copied from the ubnt firmware page when you choose the fw to use.

When you ssh you can modify the config file by editing:

/tmp/system.cfg

You can use vi, as it is build into the ubnt devices. Once you have saved the new config in ubiquity, you have to execute a save command and reboot. Here is a trick on how to do both:

• $save && reboot
