stgrosso Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hello everyone Instead of plugging the Mark V pineapple diretly to my laptop I would like to connect it to my home router. I would like to access its functionalities from various devices, android, windows desktop, linux laptop, ecc which all goes through the internet connection provided by the wifi router. Is it possible to acheive that and do you know how? I couldn't find any clear explanation anywhere (mainly goooooogle), I hope someone can help me with that Thank you Stefano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud0nick Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 You can connect it as a client to your home network over WiFi. Go into the Network infusion, select the Client tab, find the SSID of your AP and connect to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 As sud0nick said, there is something called WiFi client mode. There is also wired clientmode. That's probably what you'd prefer. Simply open the network infusion, head over to the wired tab and set it to client mode. Best Regards,Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stgrosso Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Thank you for taking the time to answer. I still have something not clear in my mind. Infact there is no issue for me in connecting it through a cable to the laptop, access the interface and the infusions and pick up the "home" wifi ssid and connect. What I find difficult is to connect it with the same wire to one of the 4 port of the router instead. Once I have done that and I navigate, with a laptop connected wirlessly to the router, to the http address where the interface lies the browser will get stuck and wont access and eventually will timeout the page. Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeto Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hey fellas, I'm having the same issue, "trying to connect my mkv to a router" this is what i have done: * Ethernet cable from mkv to dlink router * In the mkv UI, Networking / Wired - "CLIENT MODE" "DHCP" Local network settings IP: 172.16.42.1 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: DNS: 8.8.8.8 When i connect to my dlink router, i have internet but when going to http://172.16.42.1:1471 it simply doesn't work, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone give me any suggestions? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud0nick Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It won't work that way because you need to access it by the IP the router gave to it. There are now two networks involved here. The Pineapple network on 172.16.42.0 and your home network which is most likely 192.168.1.0. Find the IP address assigned to the ethernet interface and you will be able to connect to it while on your home network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 You have to go to the IP assigned to the WiFi Pineapple by your router. To find that IP, either check your router, scan the network, or connect to the WiFi Pineapple over wifi and check from there.

cheeto Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks guys!!! I simply went to my dlink's UI and went to the "status" menu to see what devices were connected to my dlink router. In my case it was: "192.168.0.198" So i added the "1471" port to the local ip: "192.168.0.198:1471" And BINGO! Thanks guys, here's a screenshot in case someone runs into the same problem. Cheers!

warsmith40k Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I have done everything in the answer and have received an address foir the pineapple from my router. The issue I'm having is I cannot ping the pineapple or access it in a web browser. I have rebooted the unit several times and still nothing. I access my router and it shows it is connected during the boot process. Shortly after the boot is finished the connection goes inactive.

sud0nick Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Do you have MAC filtering set up on your router or is your network subnetted to allow a small number of IP addresses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warsmith40k Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 No, MAC filtering is not set up. The DHCP address for the pineapple is within the range of usable addresses. The address is between the router address and my computer address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud0nick Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 And you can't ping that address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warsmith40k Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I get four replies of "destination host unreachable." I'm wondering if the default firmware is corrupted or if the unit is bricked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud0nick Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Can you connect to the Pineapple's AP and run ifconfig? I would like to see a comparison between the Pineapple's network info and the computer you're trying to use to ping it.
