Dark Ansi Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 A few years back I was asked to evaluate a meraki mini. In the end we didn't go with the company. Now I have it hanging around, but no clue how to re-purpose it. I know they support OpenWRT. But cannot find a guide on how to flash the device or setup jasager. Any help would be appreciated.

lopez1364 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 it looks like it has an atheros chipset which means it can take jasager. You should be good. Your guide is on this site just look in the Jasager project topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Ansi Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 For some reason my device wont flash via Ethernet. If there is anyone here who has done one, can you give me a few pointers... I'm on the verge of buying a serial cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Maybe they did something like the UK Fons and set the redboot IP to something different to every other Fon. In the UK redboot comes up on 0.0.0.0 so is unreachable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ansi Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 I finally got a serial cable. Logged in changed the redboot to 10 count and checked fconfig. Everything looked good. Still could not flash. Then I flashed it manually using tftp and nothing but problems. The newest issue is it freezeing up at ath_ahb: wifi0: Atheros 2315 WinSoc: mem=0xb0000000, irq=3 No telnet no ssh I am now using OpenWrt KAMIKAZE 8.09.2 for atheros. Im going to try and go to an older build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Seems like an incompatibility between the Meraki and the firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ansi Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Yeah that's what im thinking too. I know I got my router when the company first started. Maybe something was a little different in the hardware design. Im going to try another firmware now and let you know how it goes. If this doesnt work, I might just invest in a MR3201A.

Dark Ansi Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Well, I scraped the meraki and opened up another. This one was a little different, on this one they changed their telnet port from 9000 to 0. I got in and flashed it but i'm running into another problem. "br-lan: port2 (ath0) entering forwarding state" It seems to be with the bridge... But no clue how to fix. I'm running kamikaze 8.09 for atheros. Again any help would be great.

digininja Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 What is the actual problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ansi Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 It wasnt allowing me to telnet in. This meraki is a pain, I reflashed and evrything works now. Thx for everything/ The only issue I am having is modifying "/etc/config/network". Ther meraki only has one port so it is a little difficult to capture packets without putting it on a network.

Dark Ansi Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 NVM i was able to do it using X-WRT. Thanks again for the great software. p.s. Hey is it possible for me to do a dump of the firmware, it may help anyone who has a meraki mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Not that I know of, if you find a way though I'd be very interested as it would be a load easier than compiling from the dev setup. I guess you could probably do it with something like dd if you knew exactly which bits you were going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
