Can someone please clear up for me if this device is worth using in 2016? I can understand it's value perhaps in 2010-12 or earlier. I've allowed 3 MAC addresses for pine to spoof an access point- android, iphone, android tablet. Everything in Pine turned on. None of these devices automagically connect. The only thing that did work on one was a deauth - but the client just rejoined the saved 'real' access point. The only way I was able to become a client on the fake network was to manually find it and join it (which thereafter was followed by a prompt about being an unsecure network and having to touch continue to join it [which would NEVER fool anyone at any establishment's wifi]). Plus my iphone did not even display the fake access point. Is something wrong with my equipment or just this device only really begin to work on open networks? Are there any modules that help out with this? Are there any 'WiFi-Pineapple' devices for our time in 2016? I'm not knocking the development- it is nice, but I feel like i purchased an outdated obsolete device - -did I? Please someone help with some insight. thank you
