ukdude13 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi everyone, At the risk of sounding really stupid, Ive bought an ALFA USB WiFi AWUS036NEH to use with my MK5 Wifi Pineapple, so that i can use the MK5 as a access point while connected to the internet using wifi and finally use the remaining antenna with PineAP, karma and harvester. However, I've connected the alfa using the usb and i expected to see wlan0, wlan1 and now wlan2, but i don't see any change. What do i need to do to get this to work, any advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Pierre Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Got mine Today Also, Connect Wlan2 to Wifi of your choice, Wlan0 and Wlan 1 will be used with Karma and PineAp. Usefull Video of Firmware update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Igim3upL0&feature=youtu.be&t=2m59s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danixdefcon5 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 wlan2 will appear, though it will be disabled by default. Use the Wi-Fi Manager infusion, it should show up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukdude13 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yeh thanks, about 2 mins after posting this i got it to work, obviously i wasn't being patient enough. Thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaraByte Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I just tried my adapter out a few and its not having any luck connecting to the router i'll have to try another time i notice the MKV runs really hot here in Florida so possibly not a good ideal to use it in temps over 80 outside.

thesugarat Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Got my NEH in the mail yesterday and had to try it out but a few things happened along the way. 1. Plugged it in powered on, my wlan1 auto connected to my home router as before so updated all infusions. 2. Attempted to change Client Mode over to wlan2 but it wouldn't work so rebooted. 3. Pineapple came up, but my sdcard infusions were missing. Bar says they're installed but no bytes... Unplugged then pushed SD card in and out a few times then Rebooted 4. Pineapple came up, Infusions are all back 5. Try Client Mode again, wlan2 tries to connect but fails, Remember that wlan2 should be disabled so go to WiFi Manager and check status. 6. Enable wlan2 set settings below in WiFi Manager, hit request DHCP, no luck. Went to Client Mode tab tired there, no luck, went back to WiFi Manager and wlan2 is disabled again. 7. Notice that there is another config for another Alfa I've used in the past so Remove/Save/Commit for both Alphas. Reboot. 8. WiFi Manager has wlan2 again, enabled it then configured settings, then Save/Commit, 9. At this point I can't remember if I went to the Client Mode tab and tried connecting there or If I hit request DHCP in WiFi manager before I did that. But either way when I got back to the WiFi Manager I had an IP address from my router and it was working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesugarat Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I doubt it's actually bad.... Again it would not at first allow me to connect either. But after changing settings it will now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
