  1. i've had a few issues myself and each one solved; not only in a professional manner but timely.
  2. yeah i kind of figured that after a couple of days of no reply that it was due to CES; hope the team is having a blast. i'm sure everything will work out i can be patient. i still have to wait till the end of February for all the other parts of my project to be available for purchase
  3. That would be pretty sweet if it were true but it also won't give signs of life while using my juice either. i have no other way of powering the device (usb, poe) i only have the wall plug and the juice and i think you fail to realize that i'm not exaggerating when i say "extremely hot" not warm, as in if i had a way of keeping it plugged in i would have used it today for working outside in the 10 degree temperatures as a hand warmer definitely didn't make that mistake like i said i had it for less then 2 hours (straight out of the box) the shop still hasn't responded should i just ship it back for an exchange or wait?
  4. I tried that but still nothing i even left power on to the MKV thinking maybe the led's are out but i get no signal from the wifi or by connecting to it directly to eth.. however my pineapple got extremely hot i have since put it all back in its box and waiting for a reply from the shop because i'm not sure if they will let me do another exchange :( no tester sorry but i'm sure there is something extremely wrong with power getting to the pineapple ^ "..pineapple got extremely hot"
  5. so my first MKV lasted about 5 days (if that) sent that one in for an exchange and received my new one today... It lasted little under two hours After setting it up and making a password i left it running in the corner of my room, while my computer was running reaver to get access to my router for wifi, for updates and installing infusions. after an hour or so i look over and all the lights on the MKV are dead . so i go over and unplug it for a couple of minutes and plug it back in... nothing, completly dead... i've already sent another emial to hak5 but i figured i'd see if anyone has experienced this before or if its just fubar and i have the worst luck at picking pineapples
  6. I'm in the brianstorm/draft stage of a project i'm working on and i'd like to have this include two 12800 pineapple juices (maybe three). for this to have a clean install i'd like to have both the connectors used to connect to the wall charger actually hooked together into an adapter that then can be plugged in to charge both at the same time. This in turn leaves both batteries open to charge/run two separate devices, in my case the MKV and Pi. My main question is "is this possible" secondly any drawbacks such as will this cause the batteries to lose voltage out to the devices due to trying to charge each other at the same time or a significant loss in usable charge because of that, thirdly anything else you'd like to say positive, negative or critically about this before i try and manage it?
  7. well now i'm in a win/lose situation after spending so much money i couldn't just sit here doing nothing... i took the sign that even though i wasn't able to connect to 172.16.42.1:1471 but rather just 172.16.42.1 and also still able to enter the 192.168.1.1 recovery modes as good things i went ahead and spent the past 6 hours trouble shooting and found that i was able to still connect to the MKV through putty which i quickly gave up figuring that since i didn't input a password that i'd have no way of accessing root. Later in the evening i thought i'd give it a shot and i was actually able to gain root by using username: root password: pineapplesareyummy Perfect so i went ahead and downloaded winscp and scp'ed the upgrade.bin file to the /tmp/ folder then ran sysupgrade AND ITS ALIVE but unfortunately its an overly ripe pineapple on the verge of mold its even slower then what it was when i originally started running it. Takes more then 10 minutes just to load all the small tiles if they show up at all, some tiles show no information, and a couple of the tiles will not load the large tiles or take just as long to load their corresponding information. so i guess this is good and bad right now i'm going to try and load the stager and do another recovery hopefully that works out the bugs i'm experiencing *edit* nope just goes back to blinking that amber light forever and its not worth going through the hassle of 'fixing' it the way that i did just so i have a half baked even less functioning device.. guess i'll just wait for a reply from the shop
  8. i sent them a message but didn't included my order number should i wait for a response or send a seconded message
  9. very funny but not my fualt that i got a mkv that hasn't worked even when running with bone stock configuration *edit* anyways going back at it this morning new stager new upgradefiles like usual. 1. 11110 2. format sd card FAT 3. go to 192.168.1.1 flash stager 4. place upgrade.bin/hash to the sd card 5. after complete flash place dips to 11111 6. insert sd card 7. power cycle so you understand the lights it goes in thes order exactly green/dim blue <--same time green stays lit and blue goes bright at the exact time red goes on all in about a second in this order amber comes on blue turns off then amber turns off three seconds after that red goes off and i'm left with a solid green light for about 30 seconds then the amber lights starts to blink and this does not end check my networks i'm able to connect to the ar9331 even though the blue light is not on or comes on when i connnect to it navigate to 172.16.42.1:1471-->nothing navigate to 172.16.42.42:1471-->nothing navigate to 172.16.42.42-->nothing navigate to 172.16.42.1-->get an index of / directory page telling me 0.00 kbytes and a broken /.,. link
  10. yep not working. anyone tell me how i can go about either getting my money back or getting a replacment
  11. well as of now i'm pretty sure my MKV is just a paperweight. after loading a newly downloaded stager and latest upgrade.bin/hash (to a freshly formatted FAT sd card) three times it has just sat there blinking the amber light for well over an hour each time i'm giving it one more go with once again a fresh stager and fresh upgrade files on a formatted card and calling it a night and see how it looks in the morning
  12. that's how the guide says to do and that's how i did but in my attempts to get a configuration to allow the pinapple be my dumb access point i have left it connected to my modem and have successful been able to (after restore) to just connect to it over wifi. i just make sure that before i put in the password to walk over to it and go from 10011 back 11111 for the dip switches. After i accept my password and conditions i merely reconnect to it via wifi again (don't have it setup to auto connect) then go over to 172.16.42.1:1471
  13. are you trying to connect to it via direct ethernet cable or over a wireless connection
  14. well weird finally got it to work as an access point but i had to use completely different settings by setting my ip address to the address my cable modem always gives, setting the gateway to the address of the cable modem, and not sure if it did anythign to help but the dns to 75.75.75.75 that my modem uses... however as i complained about earlier (still haven't found an answer) after i run /etc/init.d/network reload putty freezes up can't access the webui and i have to power cycle after that it worked as a dumb ap but i no longer have access to the webui or putty using any ip *edit* nope it only worked for a short amount of time then i lost connection try and disconnect then reconnect to the pineapple throws an error from windows about not being able to connect... connected my computer directly to the modem like usual to regain internet... did a simply power cycle to the pineapple try and connect to the wifi and once again throws error so stuck doing a factory reset i honestly think i have a lemonapple because i don't see how only configuring the eth0 is supposed to mess anything up from me connecting to the pineapple over the air especially when i do a power cycle disconnected from my modem
  15. so finally found a place in which i can connect to a open wireless point but after a short time of imitating connection with access point i can no longer access the webui.... then after some more time my computer drops the connection with pineapple going outside i go to look at the pineapple (thinking it perhaps restarted) and take a look the green, blue, red leds are solid not blinking
  16. correct me if i'm wrong but it should technically be possible for the MKV to be used as a dumb AP. As of now it's simply a configuration problem which on such an open platform as openwrt can be changed. So if this is possible would anyone like to help me build an infusion by either being a contributor and/or teacher that accomplishes this task; already thought of a pretty funny name for the infusion (if possible) derpapple.
  17. to much to read i'm sure something will happen that works at the moment i'm going to give up on that dream factory reset one last time and throw it out side with the juice to see if i can simply get some open wifi and do the updates and what not
  18. shocked that i don't care to have the potential of people seeing into my life over the air? i also have an aversion to anything wireless for many reasons some of which may not be as much as a problem as it used to be but.. speed, reliability, latency, privacy, added configuration of hardware, cost of electricity, the added steps of troubleshooting. something about a single coaxial cable coming from my wall into a single device and out a single Ethernet cable to my computer is nice... guaranteed the best speed, reliability, lowest latency, better privacy. no need to be one of those people when you walk into their home and they have this gnarled mess of fubar cables rat nested together sitting in the corner, less equipment less cost. if something happens much much easier to troubleshoot
  19. the MKV can already be used as an access point it seems very counter productive to buy/order even more hardware when i already have something that has the ability to do what i want. as of now it seems like my problem is configuration so why pay for more when i can for less code
  20. i don't just want to use the pineapple as an access point, honestly i either want it as a temporary thing to get all the infusions that i need/want then configure it back to stock or better yet learn about scripting and possible make a dip switch setting for running the script to change the configuration if i ever happen to be in a situation where i might want to just have a 'dumb' access point... such as if i go into a house such as mine (only have one computer don't have any reason for routers or hubs) and they don't have a modem that doubles as a wireless router and/or hub; or a modem that goes to a wireless router and/or hub. Just to create a simple access point to broadcast the internet. doing that i'm able to also use my notebook with out having to share the single computer and at that point if its like that since they don't have a wireless card i simple share through my wireless card to my NIC and connect there computer to my computer. as weird or confusing as that sounds I've been in situations like this a couple times although their notebook had a wireless card so he just shared his NIC connection and created an adhoc connection
  21. at this point i'm more worried that something is wrong with the device itself i just did a test with the network file where i push a random key so that it says the file is modified delete that character and save the file so to recap the network file is not changed in anyway run the init.d/network reload and once again have to factory reset so maybe this is why i can't get the configuration to make the pineapple to work as a dumb ap
  22. thank you for the files but before i get into that i'd like to know why after i edit my network file i no longer have access to my pineapple example with factory reset--- connect via wireless have access to both the webui and ssh nano /etc/config/network only thing i edit is changing static to dhcp and gateway to the ip of cable modem (yes still trying to make it a dumb ap) save the file then /etc/init.d/network reload putty freezes/can't connect to webui power cycle pineapple and reconnet via wireless, windows throws an error about not being able to connect to it and it having limited access no longer can connect via webui or ssh have to factory reset to gain access again so any idea whats going on with this or what i'm doing wrong?
  23. that will be awesome amazing now i just need to learn how to get everything working after i alter files over ssh its seems like anytime i change anything my pineapple just shits the bed and ican no longer connect to it even after power cycle. have to do a factory reset. also when i enable the wlan1 in the webui it dosn't show up on my availiable wireless networks
  24. please tell me what exactly i'm sharing? internet? what internet? i have a COMPUTER, CABLE MODEM, PINEAPPLE i can't share internet with my pineapple with out having internet to share with it cable modem-->computer=internet (access pineapple through wifi) or cable modem-->pineapple=no internet (access pineapple through wifi) i DO NOT have a way to modem-->wireless router-->computer(ICS wireless adapter)-->NIC-->pineapple which is why i'm trying to use the pineapple as a wireless router because i can't create an adhoc connection with my notebook because once i do i lose connection with the pineapple and no longer have the ability to connect to the webui or ssh as such to connect to said adhoc
