kaiza Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Hey everyone, just got my pineapple in the mail and went about following the set up instructions. However, after setting the password and waiting a bit the green, blue, and red LEDs are on and all solid. What does this mean? Thanks! Edited February 27, 2014 by kaiza Quote
THCMinister Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 After setting the password, did you setup client mode or anything else? is it working? are you just concerned about the lights being on? A little more info would be helpful. Green is always going to be solid. This is showing that the device has power. Blue is for the AR9331 wlan0 card and is on when the card is active for example, when karma is active or anything using wlan0 Red is for the RTL8187 wlan1 card and is on when using that radio, for example client mode or anything using wlan1 Hope this answers your question. P.S. This info can also be obtained from the manual that came with your pineapple. Quote
kaiza Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Ah turns out it just wasn't broadcasting the SSID! Thanks I was wondering about that! Now if I could just get the ICS to work I'd be set! Quote
THCMinister Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 What is your setup for ICS? What issues are you having? Quote
kaiza Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 I have the pineapple connected via ethernet to my computer. However, I can't seem to access it. I have the ip set to 172.17.42.42 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, as well as turning on sharing for my connection with internet. I got to ping the pineapple with ping -t 172.16.42.1:1471 but the request times out! Quote
THCMinister Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 What is the preferred DNS address you are using? Quote
kaiza Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Nope, still timing out! I'm thinking something may be up with my ethernet port on my computer or the pineapple. Maybe the ethernet cable? Edited February 28, 2014 by kaiza Quote
THCMinister Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Try disabling your firewall and any other such software. I believe the issue is your Windows machine settings.Did you go into the web interface and disconnect from client mode on the pineapple?Did you follow the manual page 14?Do you have 2 NICs in the desktop or are you connecting to wifi with another card on the desktop?(how is the desktop getting internet) Quote
kaiza Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Tried that with the windows firewall settings, didn't work. Yup, disconnected from client mode. Followed the directions on page 14. The desktop is getting internet via external usb wifi. I'm noticing in pictures/videos of people sharing their connection their ethernet connection status on the 'Network Connections' page is different from mine. Mine says nothing connected on the Local Area Connection... Quote
THCMinister Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Might be the NIC in the desktop, are you able to test the NIC with a cable to the router? If you do test that, remember to set the NIC settings back. Quote
kaiza Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 I can't test it at the moment, as I recently moved the desktop into a spot without ethernet access. It should work, since I've used the ethernet connection in the past for internet access. Quote
THCMinister Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Maybe apply the setting on the NIC for ICS then reboot the machine. Also maybe another ethernet cord. Quote
kaiza Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Still not working after reboot. Gonna go grab the other ethernet cord. Quote
kaiza Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Okay I ended up switching the ends... amber light is on and internet connection shared!! Thank you very much for your help and patience THCMinister! Quote
