Jason_ Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 My Android device only supports Bluetooth tethering and doesn't have an option for USB tethering, will Bluetooth tethering work with the Pineapple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 No, but you still have the option of administering the Pineapple via the management AP using WiFi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hmm, this is a very interesting idea. Obviously, the NANO doesn't have a Bluetooth radio natively, but I wonder if there is a Bluetooth dongle one could get to work in the USB port. I am assuming that you want to "tether" in order to share your internet connection correct? As mentioned, if you are simply trying to access the management interface, than you could setup a third WLAN interface, and connect that way. On a side note, you could check out this post. You are basically using a secondary "Smart" device to create a PAN using bluetooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerravon Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I partly agree with captain here, but saying that the Pineapples basically work on openwrt, and openwrt does support bluetooth so you could install the relavent ipk's and have a play around with it. Just remenber the golden rule, backup, backup and backup. regards kerravon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0N3z Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Ive plugged a bluetooth dongle into my nano and unless there is some software or even a module that would need to be downloaded or made, I dont think the bluetooth is possible. I also dont know much yet about openwrt and all the packages. But on the pineapple there has to be some way to interact with the bluetooth dongle to make it connect to your phone or pc and you would need ubertooth device to really make it worth while to sniff inject with bluetooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
