I just purchased a pineapple IV and noticed that it is running firmware 2.7 I also noticed that on wifipineapple.com that release 2.7 is listed as "stable" and all of the releases from 2.7 to 2.7.7 are not listed as "stable" Does that mean those point release are experimental and not stable or is 2.7.7 good to go? -Andres

I just got a pineapple IV and I am trying to start very slow and simple before I try the other interesting but more complex uses. So I am trying to use it as a simple AP. So I have the WAN port connected to my home network. My home network assigned the address 192.168.1.63 to the pineapple WAN port. My home network gateway is 192.168.1.1. Then on my ubuntu laptop I connect to the pineapple wireless. My laptop gets the address 172.16.42.134 and its gateway is 172.16.42.1 From the laptop I can access the pineapple web interface at 172.16.42.1:1471 and it shows that my laptop is indeed connected via the br-lan interface. It also shows that that my WAN port is indeed 192.168.1.63 via the eth1 interface. Under the Advanced menu, the routing table shows that the pineapple's default gateway is indeed 192.168.1.1. From this web interface I can ping my home network gateway 192.168.1.1 successfully. From the laptop I can ping my pineapple gateway 172.15.42.1 and the route -n command shows that 172.16.42.1 is indeed the gateway. From the laptop I can also ping the WAN interface of the pineapple at 192.168.1.63. But I cannot ping my home network's gateway 192.168.1.1 from the laptop so I cannot reach the internet from my laptop using the pineapple as an AP. I know this is a newbe question and is basic routing stuff but I am confused. Do I have to explicitly configure the pineapple to route to my home gateway? Thanks, -Andres Edit: sorry guys, I just noticed that this pineapple question should be posted on a different forum. This is my 1st time here so I will do appropriately next time. I am assuming that I should not repost this on that forum so I will just leave it here.
