N0iZW Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 So here is the junk. I bought (couple of months ago) a MK5. Haven't use it much. However, I decided to get started with it. I use a MBP 13" with thunderbolt adapter. I have manually put the IP to 172.16.42.42 with 255.255.255.0 and DNS 8.8.8.8. As i did a factory reset(forgot the password, and yes i did use the switches and put them back to their original state). The setup and everything ran smoothly. However now 1 day later when i power up the MK5 again, I seem to fail to reach the WEB GUI. The LED:s status is as follows:green glows, amber and blue blinks. From the instructions its saying its searching for upgrade files and its booting up. But should it boot up forever? I should also mention that every time i reset it, always works with the first boot, however the second one, never works. Hope you guys can help me with this problem, Best regards, N0iZW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0iZW Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Oh i forgot to mention. The amber/blue light is not constantly blinking. Like solid light for 10s and then blinks 1-3 times then solid again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0iZW Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 UPDATE: Hmm, Whenever i unplug the ethernet thunderbolt adapter, the amber led disappear. I´ve checked my settings 3000 times now and did as a video on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THCMinister Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The amber light is when the ethernet cable connected. Look at the manual shipped with the pineappl. The red/blue leds are for the 2 wireless cards. The blue led does indicate is is searching for firmware files on the SD. I would suggest, formatting the sd card outside the pineapple, then factory resetting it with dip switches. Are you connected to another network via wifi when also connected to the pineapple?

Yes I'm connected by WIFI to my home router. Hmm ill see if I have any adapters to the sdcard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THCMinister Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Another thing I would test would be to unset the static on the ethernet adapter, and disconnect from the wifi. Then try connecting to the pineapple via ethernet and trying to connect to web inteface. Also try clearing your cache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept ip on static, however I turned of WiFi and the Webinterface showed up. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0iZW Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 I´ll do some testing to see if it works with couple of restarts and some sslstrip tests etc.. returning with results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THCMinister Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Understand that most sites that implement HSTS, SSLstrip will not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0iZW Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Understand that most sites that implement HSTS, SSLstrip will not work. Oh okay thanks. However it seems, that your trick only worked once, and when i got in, settings in the pineapple took ages to reach, and now I can't reach the web interface again :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THCMinister Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 what firmware are you on? update to the latest, also try the removing the static and clearing the cache in your browser. do you have another computer in which you can also try? I am asuming that you are using some sort of idevice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0iZW Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) what firmware are you on? update to the latest, also try the removing the static and clearing the cache in your browser. do you have another computer in which you can also try? I am asuming that you are using some sort of idevice. I´m using the starter one since the factory reset. Yes i have another computer which it works fine on. Already did try remove the static with no results. I also cleared the cache. I'm using a rMBP 13" mid 2014. Ill try update the firmware, but without the web interface, can it be done? Just started the pineapple again, without internet connection sharing, and got in. However every time i turn on ICS the WEB GUI seems to struggle. Ill try to get the pineapple to connect to my WiFi directly. EDIT: Well now i can't get into the web gui again...

N0iZW Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Finally got it to work. It seems the problem is with ICS. So I turned it off and using the pineapple in client mode and it works like a charm :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
