And of course all other Ubiquiti WLAN cards (SR2, XR2, SR5, XR5, SRC) are also supported with showing
the right txpower.
DD-WRT and WiliGear announce that DD-WRT recently added support for the WBD-111 and WBD-500
CPU Boards from WiliGear. Both platforms have 48V PoE support and allow the use of high power
mini PCI cards. They are equipped with 8MB flash and 32MB RAM and are well suited for
outdoor CPE solutions
Upgrade to DD-WRT process for WBD-111:
The ip of your local pc running the tftp server must be 192.168.1.254
Place the fwupdate.bin in your tftp server folder.
Now push the reset button and plugin the power.
Hold the button for some seconds until the transfer starts. after the transfer is complete,
wait for 3 - 4 minutes.
The unit will then respond on 192.168.1.1
Howto to flash WBD-500 with dd-wrt v24-sp :
1. Configure your local computer IP address to 192.168.2.100.
2. Connect to the RedBoot bootloader by telnet on 192.168.2.66
and port 9000.
Enter telnet command at the moment
Ethernet LED lights up after powering on the WBD-500 board
(about 10 sec. after power on).
Because timeslot for this is short, you might need several tries.
3. Enter the RedBoot console by pressing CTRL+C.
4. Copy linux.bin to your TFTP server directory.
5. Configure the RedBoot bootloader IP and TFTP server settings using
ip_address -l [local ip address] -h [remote server address]
