Unifi U6 Extender - Firmware / Boot/Adoption loop fix

To add to this for anyone in the future:

  • When you reset it (long hold, lots of flashing) there will be a wifi network that's the MAC address (on the back, middle row next to the QR code).
  • Make sure you turn off auto-adopt in your console, ugh.
  • the wifi password is the last 6 of the MAC (in caps) and the 6 character code at the bottom of the text on the back of the device.
  • you can do it from a Mac by forcing it to accept older protocols: ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -oPubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa [email protected]
  • I got the firmware from here - https://community.ui.com/questions/U6-Extender-wont-update-from-6-0-15/295850ba-47b9-446e-9667-20663e4236b6
