Hey dark_pyrro, thanks for the quick reply! For usb cables, I tried the one that came with it, one that charges phones faster, one that goes from usb-c to usb-a but it is not a usb cable issue. I got it figured out, it’s flashing the firmware to the recovery one as we speak, then I’ll update to the latest version. How I resolved it? Hopefully this thread will help others having these issues. I read a thread in this forum that helped me resolve the issue. Using Kali (or any other linux) in a VM, I simply followed the steps found in the link (infosecwriteups) posted by one of the members.

Hello everyone, I am having an issue with my pineapple, a few issues actually but let’s start with my first issue. 1. When I plug my Pineapple on my laptop (windows 11) it gets detected in my device manager as the axis ax…. adapter but with a yellow exclamation point (warming sign). Now when I go to my network connection the pineapple isn’t listed in there, I tried to uninstall in the device manager and reinstall the driver but it did not change anything. 2. Moving on past question #1, I am able to connect to the http://172.16.42.1:1471 and the login appears for a fraction of a second then says there is an issue with my firmware that I need to flash it. Sometimes the page for the setup appears but when I click Begin Setup then the next page appears to select usb or wifi setup and if I click anything on the page it freezes and doesn’t load anything. Has anyone encountered one of these issues before? Is there a way to flash it directly from my laptop instead of using the web interface? Any help is appreciated, I will be trying a few more things today. Thanks

Hey tomson14 or anyone looking for answers, I had the same issue, I am also fairly new to the wifi pineapple and was trying to figure out how to change the mac address of my Open Access Point. That is where people can connect to your pineapple, NOT the Management Access Point and NOT the Evil WPA Access Point. I was able to use "ifconfig wlan0 down && macchanger -r wlan0 && ifconfig wlan0 up" in the terminal as you described and see the changes in the wifi pineapple settings but as soon as my access point would go up (or reset to change mac address) it would change back to the persistent mac (default hardware one). I finally found out how to permanently change it to what I want, all you have to do is SSH to your pineapple or simply use the module called "Cabinet" from newbi3 just download from your pineapple modules. Open Cabinet and browse to "etc/config/" and edit the file called "wireless". This is an example of the file, look for the device/access point you would like to change the mac address of, for example I wanted to change the Open Access Point so I looked for the name I had configured in my pineapple for it. config wifi-iface option device 'radio0' option network 'lan' option mode 'ap' option maxassoc '100' option encryption 'none' option macaddr '11:44:55:55:44:11' <<-------------------either add or change this line option ssid 'Free_Public_WiFi' option hidden '0' Either add or change the line option macaddr of the network/access point you would like to modify. option macaddr '11:44:55:55:44:11' Then save the file and reboot your pineapple and it should be boot up your new mac address from now on. Note: For people less experience please do not modify anything else in this file or your pineapple system files without knowing what you are changing. If pineapple fails to boot because of wrong settings, please reset the firmware and start from scratch again.
