Welcome to the forums!

 

1) Where did you get the AP from?

2) When did you get it?

3) Was this AP every joined to your network?

So I"m going to take a stab at this one since I just went through this. If you bought this used on ebay then whoever's network it use to be on it's probably still assigned to. You'll have to contact openmesh and ask them to message the previous network it was on and see if they'll give permission to release it. 

 

After learning this, I now fear buying these on ebay when the MAC address is shown in one of the pictures, I worry there will be some scammer out there snatching all them up and assigning them to their networks, and holding the MAC address ransom.
