eattreebark Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hello,,, I watched the new youtube video Tutorial- Unboxing and Upgrading WiFi Pineapple Mark V to learn how to set up my new Mark 5. I go into Network, than I go to client mode select my network put in the pass key and click connect to this network. Under the connection Information it says connected. This is where it starts to go wrong,,, when I leave the network screen and go to Wifi pineapple MK5, click on firmware upgrade, click check for upgrade and in red letters it says Error connecting. Please check your WiFi Pineapple's internet connection. When I go back into Network and click on client mode and look at the connection info at the bottom it says Not connected.. Refreshing in 10s. I figured my OS was the problem so I tried this on mac os x 10.6.8 and 10.9.5, and I also tried Windows 7 and I have the same problem on all three witch implies the Pineapple itself. What do I do? it doesn't keep my connection. Even just going into Network, than I go to client mode select my network put in the pass key and click connect to this network. Under the connection Information it says connected. I leave Network,,, than go back into network and my connection is gone. Did I get a bad Pineapple that I need to send back? Is there a trick with the Dip switch's? What do I do? Thank you for your help who ever you are that knows the answer and helps me. - John - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Try following the Internet Connection Sharing for a wired network instead of client mode. Which firmware does it have currently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure your wifi password doesn't have any spaces or funky characters in it. It's usually spaces that screw it up, my password has uppers numbers and special characters and it stays connected.

Mr-Protocol Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Make sure you don't have adblock or script blocking extensions running and see if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
