Introduction
The ZBT APG621 is an outdoor 5G single radio unit.
It comes standard with an OEM version of OpenWRT
We like the hardware because it is
There is no standard release of OpenWRT for this device but the Atheros DB120 reference board firmware seems to work well enough for us.

Instructions
We assume that you have some form of the DB120 OpenWRT firmware.
The device has a very handy bootloader called BREED.
To get the bootloader in flash mode you can do the following.
Connect the device to a computer which is on the 192.168.1.x sub-net. (e.g. give your computer an IP of 192.168.1.10)
Run a continuous ping to 192.168.1.1.
Before applying power, press the reset button and keep it in while powering up the device.
The device should start answering pings after ~15seconds.
Now you can release the reset button.
