johnny12 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi all, I just received a Mark V. I connected it to my computer via ethernet, and went to the specified address to configure it. I also set my wireless adapter to shared, and changed the settings on the pineapple adapter as per the instruction booklet. Whenever I attempt to upgrade firmware, it is stuck saying "checking for update", without ever actually getting to a loading screen. Another problem I have is that when the pineapple is connected via ethernet, it crashes my computers wireless adapter very often. Any advice/insight would be greatly appreciated!

johnny12 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Try updating with the pineapple in client mode instead of trying internet connection sharing. I just tried updating it via client mode. It worked the first time, and updated the firmware to 2.3.0. It appears to be very faulty when staying connected to a network, even with a strong network connection (Via client mode). Whenever I try to use the pineapple again, it needs me to connect to the network again via client mode. It says "Connection initiated. See below for connection details.", but when I go to use it, for example to check the firmware, it says "Error connecting. Please check your WiFi Pineapple's internet connection." even though just a few seconds ago it said connected. I just tried connected to my network again via client mode, it says connected, and I refresh, showing the wlan1 connection information, after I refresh for a few seconds, it loses the connection. Any suggestions on what to do with a pineapple that does not appear to be able to hold a connection stable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny12 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Try updating with the pineapple in client mode instead of trying internet connection sharing. I had it working for a while, downloaded and tested out some infusions, however eventually it always seems to knock out my computers wifi, even when I have it configured to client mode. (Pineapple connected to router via client mode, and pineapple connected to computer via ethernet to access pineapple panel) Any ways to solve this?
