Hi Folks,
I just received my pineapple Tetra a few days ago but I have been feeling frustrated due to being unable to use it properly. I have watched a few videos made by Hak5 on YouTube to setup Tetra and it worked fine at the beginning. I was able to set it up on Kali Linux, created root account, accessed dashboard/control panel and I am receiving an IP which indicates that I have connection to Tetra device.
However, I have an issue that when I connect to the "open" or the "protected" wifi that is broadcasting from Tetra using my windows machine, I can't browse internet at all. It only stays connected for a few mins then it loses connection to Tetra and it then switches to my home wifi. Although it shows that "1 Client connected". I have also tried this on Mac machine and it is doing the same thing. I don't have the "Deny" mode enabled though. I even switched it to enable and added the devices Mac Address but there was no luck. At this point when I lose connection to Tetra, I tried rebooting device, reconnect it using different USB port, reboot my kali linux but it will never come back online until I have to rest it. I have rest Tetra about 5 times in the past two days.
Second thing is that when Tetra is showing online and no devices connected, I tried to search for the network on airmong on kali linux, but it doesn't show up there. I can see al networks around me even hidden ones but I can't see tetra listed.
Lastly, I would like to know that Is there any sort of settings need to be done on my home network (Comcast modem) in order for Tetra to work properly ? I mean do I have to open/close ports? Do I also need to have Tetra connected to Ethernet cable or only Via USB to my Kali Linux machine ?
please let me know if I am missing something or any extra recommendation that you would like me to check/do to get this going!!
Thanks All in advance!!
