Hi,

Sorry for the very newbie question here.  But i have been playing with my Nano over the last couple of days.  But when i try to get client mode up and running it never returns my home router when i run the scan, it will pick up the majority of my neighbors kit, but never my own.

When i use my nexus tethered to it, it works great.  But i would like to get client mode up and running.

Thanks,

Simon

how are you connecting to the Pineapple?

The Nano doesn't see 5GHz networks.  Is it possible your router is only outputting a 5GHz signal from your router (as opposed to both 5GHZ and 2.4GHz)?

i have a similar issue. i use my android phone to connect to the nano and when i want to connect to a secured AP and yes i know the password to it, it doesnt connect and it has the latest firmware. 

any suggestions?

 

steps;

turn on the nano

login into the nano

clicking on networking

when i arrive at the wifi client mode i only see 1 wireless interface (wlan1)

i press scan and find a few AP's, then i select the 1 i need and type in the password

i press connect and wait a few seconds and nothing.

 

any ideas what is going wrong ???

 

 

Additional;

maybe something with the kernel IP routing i assume?

wlan0 and wlan1 are both used by PineAP. You will need another wireless adapter to properly use client mode. As for why it's not connecting with wlan1, that I can't help with. But I strongly suggest getting one of the adapters from hakshop to use for client mode.

Does this mean we can't use Client Mode and PineAP at the same time if we're running in a headless (battery pack only) environment?

Not without adding a third radio via USB.
