[How often does one need to upgrade the pineapple?]

I'm doing stationary tests but my APs will be within a few feet of me when so i don't think range would be an issue. My colleague also suggested i get an AWUS036NEH USB NIC to provide internet connectivity to the Mark V, is this required if i go with the Nano?

[How often does one need to upgrade the pineapple?]

I need to do some commjacking tests on my network. My colleagues recommended the Pineapple Mark V but theat's EOL. The Tettra is OOS and the Nano is in a dev/test stage. I need something soon, do I order the Nano because it's the only one available even if I'm not planning to do development?

Or am I just SOL?
