UBNT Nanobeam AC Gen2 fail

[wu2s]

Attempted to load latest nightly builds (2423, 2442) onto UBNT Nanobeam AC Gen2. It is the International version, not the US version.
Followed all the documented steps.
Got an error message: Invalid version 'WA.ar934x. v8. 5.3-42.AREDN-r20028-43d71ad93e

Randy, there's a different procedure for factory installs for Ubiquiti 802.11ac devices. Did you use it? If not, it's here https://docs.arednmesh.org/en/latest/_downloads/cc242dc167cc98af688b0c1245d47236/Ubiquiti_AC_First_Install_Checklist.pdf

Orv, Yes, that is the procedure that I used. I installed the XC 8.7.0 firmware first, then did the rest of the steps in sequence as shown in the screenshot.

I'm confused. Your hardware is 'XC' version, and you're trying to install some WA firmware update. I think the file you should be installing is http://downloads.arednmesh.org/snapshots/targets/ath79/generic/aredn-2442-72dd3ae-ath79-generic-ubnt_nanobeam-ac-xc-squashfs-factory.bin

OK I willl try that file. I was trying to load the firmware labelled *-nanobeam-ac-gen2-squashfs-factory.bin. Maybe it was built as a WA type firmware only even thought the device I received is running XC factory firmware.

I'm wrong, you're right.
But the file you loaded seems like it was an original Ubiquiti firmware file.

The firmware file *nanobeam-ac-xc-squashfs-factory.bin loads correctly on this device.
Issue closed.
