  1. >> Simply plug the USB Y cable into your computer (assuming your USB ports aren't dead), wait a few minutes, and you should

    >> see a new network adapter appear on your system that says "Realtek USB FE Family Controller".

    Unfortunately, I don't. And I just tried it again. I plug in the USB cable and no lights. Wait for 2 minutes, still no lights. Plug in wall power and lights almost immediately. Maybe hardware? I'll write in I guess.

    >> Are you sure you set your Tetra adapter to IPv4 172.16.42.42 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 8.8.8.8?

    I couldn't tell if that was directed at me (the OP) or Infinite Development. If me, then no. I can't get to it to set it. So right now, it is factory new basically. I have to admit though, if I was hard coding things, I would have the gateway somewhere on the same subnet. After I posted this, I saw that the gateway for the Tetra was .42. I tried to make my PC 172.16.42.42/24 and make the gateway .1 (the Tetra device). That didn't help either. I beginning to lean hardware. I just don't have enough experience to really troubleshoot it and be 100%.

    If no one else has anything, I think I'll see about returning it. Thanks though.

    Sounds like your computer isn't offering enough power over the USB port for the TETRA. Try either of the following:

    - Plug power into the TETRA from the wall adapter

    - Plug a USB cable between your PC and the ETH port on the TETRA

    - A new USB Ethernet adapter will appear (run lsusb and you'll see the Realtek)

    - You'll notice a new Ethernet interface when you run ifconfig -a (e.g. eth1)

    - When the TETRA finishes booting, you should receive an IP address in the 172.16.42.x range on that interface.

    - If it does not, assign one manually (e.g. ifconfig eth1 172.16.42.42 netmask 255.255.255.0 up) *where eth1 == your TETRA interface

    - From there you should be able to ping the device and navigate to the web UI at http://172.16.42.1:1471

    - If your computer has additional USB ports, you can use them in conjunction with the supplied USB Y cables to supply the TETRA with additional power over both ETH and UART micro USB ports.

    - If all else fails, plug the TETRA into the wall power and connect to it over WiFi. You'll notice an AP with the SSID "Pineapple_XXXX" where XXXX == the last two octets of your MAC wlan0 address.

  2. zoro25 - the max output of your battery is 5V/2.1A. I'm not sure where you're getting the 10V/3.1A number, but you're only supplying 10.5 Watts (W=V*A) and while that's sufficient for light operation, you'll run into instability as you increase load. It's for this reason that we're shipping two Pineapple Juice 15000 batteries with the TETRA (5V*2.1=10.5W) * 2 = 21W (above the recommended 18W).

  3. At boot the LED sequence is Yellow solid, followed by 15 seconds of no LED, then Blue Blinking until bootup is complete.

    Once booted, the LEDs indicate the following:

    Blue: wlan0 (almost always on unless you manually disable the radio)

    Red: wlan1mon (used for sniffing/injection by PineAP)

    Yellow: eth0 (for instance if you have the TETRA plugged into a wired network)

  4. My house is all ethernet and I don't run WIFI, but it would be convenient for a thing or two. That's an idea for a router, what are your thoughts about using the TETRA as a general purpose router? I wouldn't be the ISP facing router, but one inside just for WIFI clients.

    If you don't have wireless clients at home I don't think it makes sense - but here at the Hak5 warehouse we have plenty so having both 2.4 and 5 GHz networks is really convenient.

  5. I received my wifi pineapple TETRA today and read in the box that the package content has an instruction card but it is not included in mine. Please can somebody send me a picture of your instruction card so i can read it or tell me where i can download it.

    The instruction card simply echos what's printed on the inside of the box, to visit wifipineapple.com/tetra to get started. As the WiFI Pineapple software is ever evolving there's no good printed solution that can keep up well. That said, if this isn't satisfactory please email me with your order # and I'll ship you the card.

  6. I used 3M Scotchprint Wrap Film (1080 Series Brushed Black Metallic BR-212) for the background. You can find it on Amazon. I have a Vinyl cutter that I used for the custom logo. What you could do is use the yellow pineapple sticker from Hak5. Using that sticker with the black brushed metal background would make it really pop.

    Does want!

  7. Thanks Darren!

    I tried forwarding LAN to WAN in /etc/config/firewall but it made no difference.

    I want to do what you're doing in the video but using OpenVPN community edition instead of access server but there is absolutely no information on how add a client as a gateway anywhere I can find, do you know how?

    Make sure you allow routing both ways between src and dst.

    As for client gateway is community edition - no I never found this, hence using AS. :-/

  8. Tetra arrived today. Anxious to try it out so I plugged in the mini USB USB from the charger to the UART and eventually got a solid blue light. However when I try to navigate to 172.16.42.1:1471 -- nothing. I have an active ethernet link but nothing. When I plug in the barrel cable from the Pineapple Juice 15000 --- nothing -- no lights nothing. Any help appreciated.

    Awesome! Glad it arrived!

    Like Seb said, the RJ45 Ethernet port is for WAN. If you plug it into a network it'll look for an address from DHCP. To access the web interface over Ethernet, connect the cable from your computer to the ETH micro USB port.

    The DC barrel port is for 12V, not 5V -- that's why it's labeled as such and why we included the power information sheet. The USB barrel cable that's included with the Pineapple Juice 15000 is for the older Mark V model WiFi Pineapple and won't power the TETRA. It seems I should have removed it from the box as not to cause confusion. Sorry about that!

    To battery power the TETRA, connect the USB cables to the two Pineapple Juice 15000 packs. That'll supply enough current and then some :). Unfortunately since your TETRA arrived today, and based on your comment, you probably only received one battery by mistake. Again, I'm really sorry about that. We'll be contacting you and the few others who were only sent one by email tomorrow to confirm the shipping of a second battery. It'll be shipped at no cost to you. There's more info on that from the first page of this thread.

    Anyway, do that and I'm sure you'll get setup in short order. There are some setup videos on https://www.wifipineapple.com/tetra that should help! I'm looking forward to hearing your experience with the new WiFi Pineapple!

  9. What's the chipset in the Panda?

    Edit: Looks like a Ralink RT5372 which uses the rt2800usb driver. That should be baked in. I don't have a Panda handy but I'll check with a similar card that uses the same driver and report back.

    Edit2: Works with our RT5370 "nubbin" which uses the same driver...

    Edit3: Brought it up with Seb. He made a face, did some typing, and now it's fixed. Update the networking module again :)

  10. How about back orders that still say from hakshop that state "your order has been shipped"??

    Click the tracking number all I get is.....

    US

    02/08/2016 2:53 P.M.

    Order Processed: Ready for UPS

    To my knowledge every backorder has gone out aside from a handful of special cases where we're waiting on customer responses regarding address changes or other shipping logistics. If you could, please email shop@hak5.org _and_ darren@hak5.org with your order # and I'll look into it. Sara even drove two to the post office after our 4 o'clock pickup to make sure they're all out.

    Trust me, if we could teleport them all into your laps we would. It sounds a little outside the scope of the PineAP suite, but I'll see if Seb can't add that feature to the next software update :)
