[couple questions]

when i look on my router it shows the ethernet being used at its ip address

when its connected to the wan port of the ar150 and i connect to the wifi, i get an ip of the routers subnet

maybe its just passing the ip through

cuz like i said, while in this mode the ar150 stays with the 

172.16.42.1

address.

 

another thing i dont understand is why cant wlan0 and wlan0-1 work for doing the wifi client mode

[couple questions]

the drivers seem to be loaded as it does bridge the connection.  what scripts are you talking about?  

I would have thought that i would do this (however this doesnt seem to work as the destination address never changes 

[couple questions]

another post revealed that the GL-AR150 only has one radio and this is why wifi client mode doesnt show another interface

but regardless there should be a way to get internet on it via the wan port

Its actually a GL-AR150 with the 1.0.6 nano image loaded

 

[couple questions]

my issue could be due to lack of understanding though i have spent a good amount of time reading the help pages.  Im trying to figure out 2 things.  How to share internet with the device so it can download modules and check for upgrades (FYI im at 1.0.6 which is most recent) and find out why Wifi Client Mode doesnt list any interfaces.

When I go to networking>WIFI Client Mode my Interface list is empty and Scanning always results in nothing found. How can i use this feature to connect it to my home wifi?  it mentions in the documentation that this and pine ap cannot be on at the same time so pine ap is turned OFF.

In an attempt to get internet access without wifi client mode I plugged an ethernet from the wan port to the lan port on my router, which put the pineapple into bridged mode. When i connect to it while its in this mode it of course sends out the subnet and ip details of the bridged network.  So I manually change my settings to get onto the 172.16.42.1 subnet and I am able to access the pineapple.  however the device itself does not have internet (cant check pineapple.com for messages, modules or upgrades).  I tried updating the Route in Network settings but that doesnt seem to do anything. 

I have also tried an android phone plugged into the usb while running the pineapple app but it hangs on "Waiting for connection".
