The Aruba AP-105 is an old wifi access point that only supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi 4. But if we get the hardware for free, we do not complain. Certainly not when we can flash them with OpenWRT. This is the procedure I follow for flashing and a basic config of the AP.
Needed:
- Aruba AP-105
- 48V PoE injector or PoE switch
- CAT5e or CAT6 patch cables
- USB to RJ45 RS232 serial connection
Check https://openwrt.org/toh/aruba/ap-105 for the lasest information. You can use PuTTY on Linux fot the serial terminal.
Preparation of a temporary Linux host for initial OpenWRT installation:
IPv4-address fixed to 192.168.1.66, netmask 255.255.255.0
sudo mkdir /tftpboot
install tftpd-hpa/etc/default/tftpd-hpa:
TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/tftpboot"
TFTP_ADDRESS=":69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure"get the files from OpenWRT:
openwrt-23.05.2-ath79-generic-aruba_ap-105-initramfs-kernel.bin
openwrt-23.05.2-ath79-generic-aruba_ap-105-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
remame openwrt-23.05.2-ath79-generic-aruba_ap-105-initramfs-kernel.bin to ap105.bin or symlink:
cd /tftpboot/
sudo ln -s openwrt-23.05.2-ath79-generic-aruba_ap-105-initramfs-kernel.bin ap105.bin
sudo ln -s openwrt-23.05.2-ath79-generic-aruba_ap-105-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin sysupgrade.binI use PuTTY and an USB to RJ45 RS232 serial adapter to connect to the CONSOLE port on the AP-105. NOTE: Hit CTRL + right click in PuTTY on linux to get a context menu that enables pasting and copying from the clipboard.
Hit ENTER at the appropriate moment to stop autoboot:

But, you also simply should be able to “ping openwrt” and surf to http://openwrt/
ssh root@openwrtChange the hostname to ap-xxxxxx where xxxxxx are the last 3 bytes of the AP ethernet MAC-address in hex. Also set the timezone to CET:
