How Can I Change The Name Of The Wifi Pineapple Network

[cody t]

hey everyone, ya know how the wifi pineapple displays the name of "pineapple" as a wifi network, well is there a simple easy way to change this (to "at&t wifi" for example) over scp? note that im on a mac using terminal to scp.

update to firmware 1.1.1 or higher, under the configuration tab enter ssid and click persistent check box.

Do not do that!

Sadly many people make mistakes and it causes a soft brick.

Update your firmware, do it using the UI.

Best,

Whoops! I didn't even notice that change.

My problem with it tho is that even after changing the SSID the old one is there as well.

Its a client issue for the most part, restart your laptop/device not the pineapple

@Sebkinne: if that were true, none of us would ever work at the root prompt, as the potential to fuck up is endless. A GUI? Maybe if you are new to UNIX/Linux. Mistakes happen, but if you are going to admin as root, you have to live with the consequences.

Hmmm, I wonder what this command does?, rm -rf /* ;)
