ma05k1 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hi all, I received my pineapple yesterday morning, and after fiddling with it I realised I would need my Alpha NHA and a 3G dongle connected at the same time to the pineapple. I figured the only way to do this would be using a USB splitter but was unsure whether the wifi pineapple would support it. Has anyone used a USB splitter and does it work? Thanks in advance!

Mr-Protocol Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I think what you are looking for is a USB Hub, not a splitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Protocol Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I am pretty sure it works on the pineapple. You just need to make sure that you power everything separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telot Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Like a lot of embeds, the pineapple has pretty limited amperage it can put out over its single usb. If you had two very low power devices to plug in to the USB, a non powered hub would be fine. Two radios (wiifi + 3g) is way too high of a power demand for the mark4. A powered USB hub is needed to supply enough amps to the devices. telot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
