LINUX:

You can go here to get the Ubuntu LiveCD:

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

We have tried to make this as simple as possible, but it would be
helpful if you have some familiarity with Linux (or someone available
who has).

1. Boot Live CD and bring up a terminal window (under “Applications”,
then “Accessories”, then “terminal” on Ubuntu)

2. Make sure it is connected to the internet, then type the following to download the files you will need:

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install wget
wget http://www.blogin.it/ROBIN/test/meraki/openwrt-atheros-2.6-vmlinux.gz
wget http://www.blogin.it/ROBIN/test/meraki/openwrt-atheros-2.6-root.jffs2-64k
wget http://ruckman.net/downloads/mesh/easyflash
wget http://ruckman.net/downloads/mesh/flash
ifconfig eth0 up
chmod +x easyflash
chmod +x flash

3. Plug in your Meraki to your Ethernet LAN port on your computer.

4. Type: ./flash (note: If your Meraki is NOT connected to eth0, modify the file “flash” accordingly, it should be eth0 but you can check by issuing ifconfig)

5. Plug in the Meraki to power.

6. You should see something like this displayed:

Code:

No packet
No packet
Peer MAC: 00:18:84:80:67:1C (this will be the MAC address of your router)
You MAC: 00:ba:be:ca:ff:ee
Your IP: 192.168.1.0
Setting IP address…
Loading rootfs…
Sending rootfs. 6400 blocks…
Initializing partiions…
Rootfs partition size now 0×006f0000
Flashing rootfs…
Loading Kernel…
Sending kernel, 1536 blocks…
Flashing Kernel…
Setting boot_script_data…

Done. Restarting device…

7. Go get lunch. This will take 15-30 minutes, depending upon the flash
chip speed in your router. DO NOT INTERRUPT!
8. When it is done, the window will show Done.

WINDOWS:

Get the utility:

http://ruckman.net/downloads/mesh/ap51-flash-gui.exe

Download the firmware:

http://www.blogin.it/ROBIN/test/meraki/openwrt-atheros-2.6-root.jffs2-64k

http://www.blogin.it/ROBIN/test/meraki/openwrt-atheros-2.6-vmlinux.gz

Run the utility and choose the firmware files with the browse buttons.

Choose the network adapter that the Meraki is connected in the pull down menu.

Click on the “Go” button and walk away for about 30 minutes.

Good Luck!
