How to open the Ubiquiti Bullet M2

I was trying to get OpenWRT working on my Bullet M2, but was having issues. So I heard there was a serial port on the board that you can use to grab debug information. I proceeded to open the sucker up, and at first was doing it wrong.

The proper way is by taking the ring off near the N connector for the antenna. I used some vice grips and it came off rather easily with some muscle. Here’s a photo with the ring circled in red. ;D

Once the ring is off, you simple push the N connector and the board will slide out of the enclosure.

Now all you need to do is connect a MAX232 TTL Converter to the following pins.

I haven’t found a good TTL to RS232 converter that has decent cables. There are some but I’ve yet to research them fully. You also need the proper pinout, which I don’t know yet so if you have a solution for both please post a comment. Thanks!

Put lets put this into perspective. If you read the entire article you will see a similar situation that ended with Broadcom filing a complaint against Qualcomm. The International Trade Commission banned Qualcomm from shipping any new chips and hardware into the United Sates, and any chips that were already being shipped to the United States could continue. The ban lasted for 45 days, until an appeal by Qualcomm was successful and then the ban was lifted.
