I was able to get it running following the standard procedure as you have outlined. BUT, I was unable to (and still am unable to) do it from my home network. I had to take it to work and perform the steps on a network utilizing a completely different ISP. As mentioned above, i'm seeing something strange that I think is impacting my ability to work with this at home. Without the pineapple connected and with no other device using the 172.16.42.1 address, I was still able to receive a ping reply from it. So I performed a tracert (see screen shot provided in previous post) and found that several hops into my ISP, there's a device with the 172.16.42.1 replying. I thought this IP range was dedicated to Private IP spaces? If so, how would i get a reply like this? I haven't had a chance to research if it's possible to assign a different static IP to the pineapple. But if it's possible, i will try to see if this grants me access to the pineapple while connected to my home network. Open to suggestions or input on this :-)

I did verify that my browser is running as suggested, and am still experiencing the same. But I did notice something weird in my troubleshooting. I had a constant ping going against 172.16.42.1 and continue to receive a reply. But oddly, after I powered the pineapple off, i was still getting a reply. A tracert returned the following: Why would there be so many hops on the ISP's end before hitting a private IP? Not sure if this is just coincidence or if it's impacting things on my end.

I'm running into a problem to where I can't access the web interface of the mark 5. The green LED remains lit while the rest blink in a looping sequence of Red->Blue->Yellow->Blue->Red <pause -just green remaining lit> (repeat) I do get a ping response from 172.16.42.1, but the browser fails to connect to 172.16.42.1:1471. The title of the page reads "Setup" and the status bar spins as it attempts to connect, but given enough time the page will time out. I also see the Pineapple5_ ssid broadcasting and can connect. But this doesn't get me any further. I've triple checked all of my static IP settings and they're correct: 172.16.42.42 | 255.255.255.0 | 8.8.8.8 After several attempts to troubleshoot the problem, i resorted to flashing the device to factory. But this didn't resolve the problem. Still experiencing the same LED lighting sequence and the page times out. If this is addressed elsewhere in the forum I must have missed it and would be grateful for link pointing me to the solution.
