Boo51799 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I have the Nano and i cannot update the firmware. When i go into advanced options it says its updating but the loading bar stays blank and it never ends. This is a picture after 20 minutes. I do realize i am far behind on updates. is the waiting time simply just because one of them is a major one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Try a different browser. Could be an extension goofing with the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will get your WiFi Pineapple into working order. After you have finished the procedure, you will be on the latest firmware for the NANO (no black screen to upload the firmware to, but the white interface).

Boo51799 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) i plug in one of the usb Y ends into my computer. "the one just used for power" then after configuring the ip to 192.168.1.2 and the netmask And try to go to 192.168.1.1 it doesnt connect to anything and times out. i am trying to do this on a windows 7 system. And keep getting stuck at this point. Do i need to continue having sharing on to the pineapple from my normal wireless?

You should use that to get an interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo51799 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 I just plug in the power end when I am holding the reset button down for ten seconds, once that is over and the led remains blue I plug the other end into the laptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold the reset button on the bottom of the NANO. Plug the NANO into the female end of the y-cable The blue LED should flicker This should work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
