[initial setup security]

 

dear all,

first i tried to follow the instructions in the video. i repeated this process several times as recommended. i have to say i feel and i hear the click of the switch very well. it's not a mechanical issue. but maybe the switch is badly soldered. 

next i tried a firmware recovery following this instructions:  https://wifipineapple.com/pages/faq

i never managed that the yellow LED stays stable. even if i press the button much more than 10 seconds the light goes off after 10 seconds after connecting to the external power. it behaves in the same way as i would not press the button. 

any ideas what i could do ? 

btw, serial number is S/N 1454817

 

kind regards 

hans 

 

 

 

 

[initial setup security]

 

dear all, 

today i received my wifipineapple tetra model MK5.8 

i followed the tutorial videos how to setup on a linux box. i am using kali linux  Debian 4.6.4-1kali1

connecting an usb cable to tetra eth1 i can see an additional interface eth1 on my linux box. opening a browser ( i tried with firefox and chromium ) i can connect to  http://172.16.42.1:1471/  and the pineapple logo appears. 

than i press the "Continue" button and i come to the "Initial Setup Security" screen. ( http://172.16.42.1:1471/index.php?action=firmwareUpdate ) 

as recommended i press the button on the backside of tetra and than pressing the "continue" button. but nothing happens. i also tried to press the button more than 3 seconds. but there is no difference. 

i tried the same on my android phone. i installed the app from play store but i could never go over the step pressing the second time the "Continue" button. it always falls back to the same screen. 

currently i do not know how to continue if i cannot reach the web interface. 

i have seen i can login to command line if i connect the usb cable to the UART interface using "screen" or "picocom". 

any help would be nice. 

kind regards
