I found a post by Sober. He had similar problems and suggested the actions i take in windows 7 to fix the issue are as follows, unplug, disable local area connection, release and renew ipconfig, reenable local, power on and rehookup pineapple, if that doesnt work reset for 5 seconds followed by waiting 5 and repeating always has. This did not work for me I tried and tried. I ordered the adapter and will flash the update I guess. owe well, life goes on.
