neep3r Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I have two MKV Pineapples and the new Pineapple Plug that I'd like to configure to work together. I set the second Wifi Pineapple's IP to 172.16.42.2 (in /etc/config/network) while keeping the first Wifi Pineapple's default, at 42.1. I then connected both Pineapples to the Wifi Pineapple Plug and booted them up. At this point I'm not sure what to do, nor do I know for sure if the Plug setup is working properly. I'm guessing it will be much easier to run two Pineapples together in future firmware updates but if anyone has experience working with two Pineapples I'd love a push in the right direction, or where to find relevant instructions/resources. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbi3 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 You also need to set the gateway to 172.16.42.1 on the second pineapple with the IP address of 172.16.42.2. There will be a firmware update that takes advantage of the pineplug giving it its full functionality in the near future I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it looks like this will be solved with a flick of a dip switch. Looking forward to the next firmware :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the next firmware :D I'm not sure if its the next firmware release or the one after that but I'd imagine it will be soon. I'm not a firmware dev I just make infusions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neep3r Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Here are my Pineapple's /etc/config/network settings now: Pineapple #1: config interface lan option ifname eth0 option type bridge option proto static option ipaddr 172.16.42.1 option netmask 255.255.255.0 option gateway 172.16.42.42 option dns 8.8.8.8 Pineapple #2: config interface lan option ifname eth0 option type bridge option proto static option ipaddr 172.16.42.2 option netmask 255.255.255.0 option gateway 172.16.42.1 option dns 8.8.8.8 I booted both up in the plug but don't see a network connection or the ability to utilize the second Pineapple's wireless cards. Are there additional steps I am missing? Thanks again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbi3 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Can you ssh into pineapple 2 (172.16.42.2) and ping google.com and see if you get any replies. Remember the first pineapple will have to have an internet connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
