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
Roughly:
# disable auto adoption
# join the wifi
# grab the firmware
curl https://dl.ui.com/unifi/firmware/UAP6MP/6.2.35.14043/BZ.ipq50xx_6.2.35+14043.220812.1939.bin > u6_firmware.bin
# scp, in legacy mode, with the key stuff
scp -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -oPubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa -O u6_firmware.bin [email protected]:
# ssh in and install it
ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -oPubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa [email protected]
U6-Extender-BZ.6.0.15# ubntbox fwupdate.real -h
Usage: fwupdate.real <command> [file [-cdkmh]]
fwupdate.real recognizes these commands:
-c ckeck firmware file only (could not use with -m option)
-d verbose mode
-k keep running
-m check firmware and write firmware to the flash
-h show this usage

Thank you, you saved me (or, at least, you saved my U6 Extender) !
I dit it from Linux and the ssh command is working as well.
