smarlin Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hi, Newbie here. Just received my Pineapple in the mail from the shop. Followed all directions to a T, but unable to connect to http://172.16.42.1:1471/ The blue light remains on. (no red, no flashing pattern). Anyone know where I should turn for next steps? Thanks!

Darren Kitchen Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 What OS are you using? How are you connecting to the MK5 (ethernet, wifi)? What is your network configuration (static, dhcp)? Do you have an IP in the MK5 range? Is the SD card plugged into the MK5? How are you powering the MK5? The more details you can provide about your setup the better.

BlackOp Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Similar problem here. Mac OSX 10.7.something Manual IPV4 on Ethernet port 172.16.42.42, 255.255.255.0 broadcast Internet sharing wifi with Ethernet port Attempting to connect to http ://172.16.42.1:1471 It used to work but now does not. No apparent rhyme or reason. When it did work, I decided to use client (wifi, wlan1) mode instead of wired Ethernet. That was ultimately slow and flaky. Decided to go back to Ethernet cable but now it fails to connect. I have to connect to the pineapple AP to get the pineapple interface but then infusions all hang. I'm on my third factory reset which resolves network connectivity issues. Edited July 31, 2014 by BlackOp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi BlackOp, Sorry that you are having so many issues with your WiFi Pineapple MKV. The WiFi Pineapple running with OSX is a tricky subject as Apple keeps changing the way that wireless to ethernet connection sharing works. There is absolutely nothing we can do about that - they just cannot make their mind up. In regards to using wlan1 for clientmode, Darren recently posted a thread on the subject. We recommend using a third radio, 3g dongles, usb tethering or ethernet instead, as firmware 1.5.0's PineAP will make heavy use of the wlan1 interface. To avoid having to re-install infusions, you can just install them to your SD card. On a factory reset, the WiFi Pineapple MKV will restore the infusions the next time you load the webinterface up. Lastly, to reset the network configuration, you can go into the network infusion and go to the advanced tab. This allows you to reset said configuration. If that doesn't help, a factory reset is your best best. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
