wytshadow Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 When i plug an ethernet cord into the PoE LAN port on the pineapple, the LAN light does not light up and my OS does not detect anything. If I plug into the WAN/LAN port, everything works as it should. I tried a hard reset with the little button but nothing seems to work. Is my pineapple broken?

Ma++ Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi, Some simple things to try: Power the Pineapple with 12v DC from a mains adapter Make sure that you have the latest firmware Double check with a different computer and/or Ethernet lead Hope this helps...

wytshadow Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Double checked, I'm running firmware 2.8.0. I tried a different power source and a different Ethernet cable with the same results. when i plug it into the WAN port it lights up instantly which is making me think that the PoE/LAN port may just be jacked up or something...

Ma++ Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hmm... May be toast then. Is everything ok physically? Nothing obvious like bent contacts or fudge in the connecter? Otherwise I'll have to deffer to someone with more Pineapple specific experience I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 If you're using linux, make sure that your Ethernet interface is up :) -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytshadow Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 the ethernet interface is up. The pineapple reponds whenever i plug into the WAN port. My OS also detects a connection when I plug into the WAN port. I think its just PoE port is jacked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathdealerxx Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hey ssh into your pineapple and issue this without quotes. " ledcontrol lan on " does that turn your lan light on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Does the Poe lan port work? Can you connect over it? If so and the LED doesn't light up, I fear the LED is bust.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
