   https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/powerbeam installation instructions)
 - Upload the factory image via AirOS web GUI.

Flashing via TFTP:
 - Use a pointy tool (e.g., unbent paperclip) to keep the
   reset button pressed.
 - Power on the device (keep reset button pressed).
 - Keep pressing until LEDs flash alternatively LED1+LED3 =>
   LED2+LED4 => LED1+LED3, etc.
 - Release reset button.

    $ tftp 192.168.1.20
    tftp> bin
    tftp> trace
    tftp> put openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_powerbeam-m2-xw-squashfs-factory.bin
