Please Help With Quick Connect Trouble

[power]

Hi,

This is basically a first run, pardon my ignorance. So, I have the Pineapple connected to the Internet by cat6, powered, and with a nice big fat antenna.

I ran BT5r3 live and did the quick connect. The script seems to work, but my Pineapple never shows up : /

Thanks

I tried correcting the default gateway to 10.0.1.2 but that just made it where I had no internet connection until I disconnected from my WiFi and reconnected

the pineapple also doesn't appear to be broadcasting anything...

if you just connect to the poe/lan port and use dhcp settings you will get an ip, I would then investigate because there should be wifi, def do an upgrade of the firmware if you can

Thank you Peter. My plan was to learn how to turn it on and connect first then upgrade, but you're right and maybe I should upgrade first.

I had no trouble connecting with it when I first bought it, but then I got busy with life and didn't touch it for a few months until just now. It seems like when I run the quick connect script I had this problem before and someone said to just leave a space for one of the default settings, when it prompts you?

I thought it was the default gateway, but I tried that and it didn't work.

Let me see if I understand you correctly. I have it plugged in to POE/LAN and to eth0 on my linux box. I have a blue light indicating power, USB, LAN, and WPS.

Now I execute the quick start script with the default settings. Now you're saying that this is when I should see a Pineapple SSID and everything should work fine, right?

ok it worked this time :)

Doh! Sorry I bothered you. I think last night I was confused because there was a long delay between when the script finishes running and when the link at the end of it works for me. thanks again!
