Evening folks. I'm also new to the Pineapple and this topic is the exact same thing I'm trying. I have the following configuration setup:
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\ MODEM \ -- ethernet --> \ SWITCH \ -- ethernet --> \ PINEAPPLE \
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
I want to create a completely separate wifi hotspot with the Pineapple without it being on the same network as my home wifi (hence the switch). In other words, I want the Pineapple to be its own WiFi hub. From what I gather, the latest firmware does not allow reception of an internet signal via WiFi (so the two antennas are free to broadcast). Is this a correct understanding?
