    7dBi Panel Antenna

    in WiFi Pineapple Mark V

    Posted

    The antenna port on the WiFi Pineapple Mark V is female, both antennas that come with it are sma male but "The 7dBi Panel Antenna” has a sma female connection. Although you can connect the antenna to the WiFi Pineapple Mark V. The 7dBi Panel Antenna does not have the small pin that goes into the WiFi Pineapple Mark V connection port.

    I am a bit confused about the types of adapters.

    For connecting the 7dBi Panel Antenna (or other antenneas from the Mark IV) I need an adapter as linked to on Amazon? (SMA-Male to SMA-RP-Female)

    Doubtful. There's not much that isn't solved with software. I'm not sure what's causing it as I've never tested in this manner. Can you try scp'ing the file from the other direction? Meaning ssh into the pineapple then scp the file from your host to the SD card and report back? Also what filesystem are you using? Ext4?

    I did some tests with a 70M file:

    - Copy from remote host to pineapple: 2 times the reset error

    - Copy from pineapple to remote host: 4 times the reset error

    The class 10 card has less errors then the card that came with the MarkV (which eventually jumped into read-only mode).

    I connect to the pineapple via wlan1 (connects to my home network in client mode). I will do some test later connecting via the ethernet port.

    The card has a ext4 filesystem.

    Use rsync with the '-P' option. It will allow you to resume the transfer if the connection fails instead of having to start over from the beginning each time.

    WinSCP does this for me, but still it kind of worries me that this happens all the time...

    If I copy (2 MB+) files via SCP I encounter time-outs where the transfer stalls.

    I use WinSCP to transfer the files from the sd card in the pineapple to my local machine but I encounter the same by using scp on the CLI.

    The transfer freezes each 10-15 seconds and immediately before it resumes (taking another 10-15 seconds) I see the following in the pineapples log:

    Pineapple kern.info kernel: [75367.090000] usb 1-1.4: reset high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-platform

    the output from lsusb is:

    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub 
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 058f:6254 Alcor Micro Corp. USB Hub 
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter 
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 058f:6366 Alcor Micro Corp. Multi Flash Reader

    I guess this might be a problem with the sd card or reader. I formatted the delivered sd card from the web interface.

    Did anyone encounter this issue and/or has a solution for this?

    customs charges?

    In Europe you don't need to pay import taxes for Wifi devices.

    You do need to pay (if your package is handled by customs, which is pretty random):

    - VAT (varying from 19 to 21%). Note that this is on value + shipping cost!

    - Customs handling fee (10 - 15 euro)

    For a plain pineapple MKV I had to pay 18 euros to the postman (shipped to The Netherlands by USPS)
