KingOfPine@pples Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) So after finding a topic called "Supported High Throughput Client Mode Radios" I picked up a TP Link model TL-WN722N but it doesn't actually appear to work with the Mark V. The Mark V sees it, I scan for AP with wlan2 , press connect, it goes through the connecting phase and finishes with "Connection initiated. See below for connection details." but below it just says "Not connected" and this is in fact the case; it is not connected. I notice that after I press "Connect to this network" The blue light on the pineapple goes off for a second. I'm not sure if that is an indication of a malfunction or what. Any ideas on if this actually works? Or is it just a fluke on the supported list? Thanks. Edited July 27, 2015 by KingOfPine@pples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J5x86 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I just tested my tp link and got the same results you did. The Alfa card works great though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfPine@pples Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks for confirming that it doesn't work for you either J5x86. I have an Alfa AWUS036H that works as well, but I think that the Alfa can suck up a lot of power compared to the TL-WN722N when I'm mobile, which is why I was attempting to switch. Maybe when Darren originally tested it (not sure if it was him personally or someone in the community) it worked, but a firmware update along the way killed it or something. Happy to provide a log of some sort if it might help. Here's to hoping someone with much more Linux knowledge than me can shed some light on it.

J5x86 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 No problem, I don't use the tp link much but I will look into tonight and see if I can get it working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasse-r Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Anyone had any success finding out why TP-WN722N isn't working? I just can't find the card and aren't really so much for going out and buy me a new one. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasse-r Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Really don't know what I did wrong before but my tp-wn722n is working like charm now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J5x86 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It's working in client mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfPine@pples Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Never found anything J5x86? Thanks for trying anyway. It looks like the TL-WN722N needs to be removed from the Supported High Throughput Client Mode Radios list. I bought one because of that thread with input from Hak5, and it turns out it was a waste because it doesn't work, at least not with the current build..

barry99705 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Mine works just fine in client mode. It could be your power adapter. I've no clue where my pineapple adapter went. I'm running off a linksys wrt-54gl wall wart. Edited August 5, 2015 by barry99705 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J5x86 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks for the tip Barry, I will try that later and see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlyhabit Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 curious if you guys are on latest firmware as my wn722n seems to be having issues with my nethunter nexus 7 2013 lately. gonna try it on my pineapple tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J5x86 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I was having trouble on 2.3 and the new 2.4 firmware. I have been using it no problems on a nexus 5 and 7 with nethunter though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlyhabit Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Weird it's having issues as the default nexus device connecting to my wifi, but fine for injecting under kali nethunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfPine@pples Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 In regards to the problem being the power adapter, I am using the supplied Mark V power adapter, and I would assume it landed itself on the hak5 approved list using that adapter. In addition, the TL-WN722N uses under 250 mAH or something, so it's hard to imagine that extra 250 mAH is causing a problem, especially when I know the Alfa adapter I mentioned earlier uses more power, and it works with that. Nonetheless, I'll see about trying another power adapter and see if that works out. I haven't got to try it with the 2.4 firmware yet.
