lol a year later still having the same issue, i plug in the dongle to the PA, i can see wlan3 in iwconfig and in settings/networking/interfaces but if i try to enable it in cli it'll automatically revert back to down and if i enable it in the GUI, everything usually freezes up (if im ssh in it times-out and if im using the GUI it stops refreshing and all the networking options depopulate as in everything in settings/networking goes blank) and i have to reboot the pineapple to regain function. Its difficult to really troubleshoot because the issues are intermittent and arent always the same sometimes when i turn on 5G it disconnects me completely and if i refresh, the connection to the GUI is gone; sometimes i refresh and the GUI stays up with everything in settings/network depopulated and it still allows me to connect to the shell but none of my commands work.

im not 100% sure, I reinstalled my firmware from the updater (used the 2.0.0 beta...might need to roll back), i plugged the adapter in my computer alone (with the PA disconnected) and I can connect to 5Ghz wifi fine so the adapter seems ok alone. Then I disconnect everything and plug in the PA and go to the web portal with the adapter disconnected and everything is fine there too. But it seems whenever i have them on the same computer the wifi settings on the PA get wiped and i cant reconnect until i disconnect the adapter. so far I've tried connecting both the PA and the adapter to my PC in separate USB ports (so not plugged into the PA) and i lose my wifi configuration on the PA. I also tried connecting the PA to my local machine and connecting the adapter to my kali VM and it either removes the wifi client settings but i can still get into the web app or i kicks me out of the webapp but i can SSH in but tends to freeze if i try iwconfig....this strangeness is above my pay grade lol

also i can ssh in with putty, i can navigate the file system, but it freezes when i try to use iwconfig.

So ive had the pineapple for awhile and for the first time in forever the 5g adapter was for sale so i picked it up. Had the pineapple connected to my wifi up and running, i plug in the adapter and get the setup pop-up, i click it and it disconnects me from the network and the client mode interface drop-down is blank, other than that nothing happens when i try to set up the adapter. Am I doing something wrong here? If i disconnect the adapter and reboot the pineapple it'll automatically reconnect to my network and work like normal, but once i plug the adapter in i loose all connection.
