Could it be possible that the pineapple is trying to route traffic through poe lan 172.16.42.42 port instead of 3g-wan2?? Internet works just fine on the pineapple but wireless clients have no internet :( Any pointers would be great!! - SgtP

Hmm, i can ping www.google.com just fine from the pineapple but wireless clients have no internet... Routing problem here?

Very cool indeed!!!

I've had the best results with BT5 by just installing it on my HD. Everything just works :) Using BT5 via VMware is somewhat flaky and the live booting is just a pain in the a**.

Attached with a very short cable so there should not be that much loss there. Have to do some tests with my alfa card with the same antennas.

When i got my pineapple and got ICS working, i went for a drive and some devices were connecting to pineapple. I immediately started looking for bigger antennas for my pineapple so that i could get better results. I bought a 8dbi TP-LINK antenna and i didn't really see any improvements, far from it. I also bought a bigger 3com 8dbi omni antenna for under 50 euros which FOR SURE would get me more connects, but NO The stock antenna on the pineapple will give me twice the range that the longer 8dbi "ducky" omni and the 8dbi 3com antenna will... What's happening here guys??? :D I can walk some 100 feet from my house and i still get a connection with the stock antenna, the range drops in half when one of the other antennas are connected.

Alfa will use about 80-130mAh of power and runs great from my laptop usb port = me likey :)
