Hello barry99705, Thank you, this is very well explained. I did all of this. If I connect my laptop directly to pineapple_1 with Wi-Fi, I have Internet access. Good thing ! And if I look my IP @, it equals to the university LAN (130.191.160.0 /24) : IPv4 Address................... : 130.191.160.35(Prefered) Then I connected pineapple_2 as client to pineapple_1. Wlan1 in pineapple_2 got also a IP @ : wlan1 inet addr: 130.191.160.20 Bcast: 130.191.160.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0 Finally I connected my laptop to the last node (pineapple_2). But unfortunately I can not access Internet. Even from pineapple_2 when I ping 8.8.8.8. No response.... My laptop IP @ is : 172.16.42.199 I can ping pineapple_2 (172.16.42.1) and vice versa. But that's all :( Sup'air.

Thank you for the link, it was very helpfull. But I still have some questions : I have connected the first node to our LAN : 130.191.160.0 /24. But the university network is using DHCP to give address. So, in /etc/config/network should I replace this : config interface lan option ifname eth0 option type bridge option proto static option ipaddr 172.16.42.1 option netmask 255.255.255.0 option gateway 172.16.42.42 option dns 8.8.8.8 by this ? config interface lan option ifname eth0 option type bridge option proto dhcp Thank you for your help.

Hello, I do the network setup from the beginning, without modify the IP address : pineapple_2 connects to pineapple_1 with wlan1. Below is the network configuration for each pineapple : pineapple_1 : root@Pineapple_1:~# ifconfig br-lan Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:37:A5:23:52 inet addr:172.16.42.1 Bcast:172.16.42.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6777 errors:0 dropped:119 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4196 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:632429 (617.6 KiB) TX bytes:704364 (687.8 KiB) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:37:A5:23:52 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5756 errors:0 dropped:24 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3563 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:620004 (605.4 KiB) TX bytes:616844 (602.3 KiB) Interrupt:4 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:1712 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1712 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:151600 (148.0 KiB) TX bytes:151600 (148.0 KiB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:37:A5:23:52 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1096 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1760 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:116112 (113.3 KiB) TX bytes:200994 (196.2 KiB) wlan1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:37:93:5B:38 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) pineapple_2 : root@Pineapple_2:~# ifconfig br-lan Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:37:A5:23:43 inet addr:172.16.42.1 Bcast:172.16.42.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5522 errors:0 dropped:31 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5093 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:594967 (581.0 KiB) TX bytes:676740 (660.8 KiB) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:37:A5:23:43 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5529 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5093 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:672793 (657.0 KiB) TX bytes:676740 (660.8 KiB) Interrupt:4 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:296 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:296 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:27304 (26.6 KiB) TX bytes:27304 (26.6 KiB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:37:A5:23:43 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:1640 (1.6 KiB) wlan1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:37:93:58:C8 inet addr:172.16.42.192 Bcast:172.16.42.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1057 errors:0 dropped:51 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:330 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:67493 (65.9 KiB) TX bytes:37441 (36.5 KiB) We can see that wlan1 on pineapple_2 got its @IP through DHCP : 172.16.42.192 But why am I not able to ping pineapple_2 from pineapple_1 : root@Pineapple_1:~# ping 172.16.42.192 PING 172.16.42.192 (172.16.42.192): 56 data bytes ^C --- 172.16.42.192 ping statistics --- 61 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss Sup'air.

Hello jmelody and thank you for your help, In my scenario, [wlan1 of pineapple_2] will connect to [wlan0 of pineapple_1] If I understand you well, I have to do this : pineapple_1 : Change the wlan0 network to for example 192.168.0.0 /24 netmask 255.255.255.0 pineapple_2 : I leave the wlan1 configuration with dhpc (pineapple_1 will give an @IP to pineapple_2) : config interface wan option ifname wlan1 option proto dhcp Am I right ?!

Both pineapple use 172.16.42.0 /24 so how to configure an other network row between the pineapples ? Thanks :) Sup'air.

So my drawing was false. But when I connect the pineapple_2 to the pineapple_1 I am sure I am with this configuration : (pineapple_1 wlan 0) ============== (wlan 1 pineapple_2). network ? (pineapple_1 wlan 0) ============== (wlan 1 pineapple_2) But what is the network between the two pineapples ? It can not be 172.16.42.0 /24 right ? Do you see what I mean ? Sup'air.

Hello to everyone, I am trying to setup the following network with two pineapples. The aim is to stream a webcam flow from Laptop 1 to Laptop 2. http://hpics.li/45bb2a4 But I am getting some troubles to connect the pineapple together. Each pineapple is physicaly connected to a computer with ethernet cable. The network is 172.16.42.0 /24 on this link. So my question is : What is the network between the two pineapples ? Thanks for your help Sup'air
