Just got my pineapple today and I'm sure people post this a nice amount about this topic, so please forgive me in advance. Searched the threads and no solution worked for me.
What I did:
- Unboxed
- Connected to pc and power outlet
- Waited 10 mins.
- Tried to access http://172.16.42.1:1471/ (in all browsers even clear cache, etc...)
Didn't work
After that:
- Tried to ping the address
Didn't work (100% lost)
- Connected directly to router to provide internet access.
- Was able to connect the the AP (Pineapple5_3DDD)
- Tried to access http://172.16.42.1:1471/ (from my mac and pc)
Didn't work
- Tried to do a factory reset ( even though its brand new ) from http://wiki.wifipineapple.com/index.php/Factory_Reset
- Let it reset,
- Powered off
- Put pins in default
- Powered on and waited 10 mins
- Tried all of the above scenarios
Nothing worked (same results)
Not sure what to try now. Any suggestions and/or help would be really appreciated.
Ideally I would like to have the pineapple stand alone (connected only to the router) and access the web-ui from there. That is possible, correct?
