zergbot Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I just received my pineapple and I cannot get it to work with my phone. The cable that came with it doesnt let me usb tether. (i have to use my samsung cable) and it wont connect to the app, it says waiting for connection. Ive updated firmware. Does anyone have a fix for this or am I SOL?

The App itself may not work with your device (see the disclaimer), but it is also not required to use the WiFi Pineapple. Think of it more as a free bonus.

What are other ways to use it without the cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleo Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Via MGMT which is a secondary WiFi access point from the WiFi Pineapple NANO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0N3z Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 The cable that the nano comes with is for power only. So unless you wanna plug a battery inline with the nano you need it and depending on the size battery (5v1a, 5v2a, etc) you might need two batteries to get the most of the nano. Use the Management AP to control it or use a third radio on the nano (usb wifi which would be wlan2) and create a hotspot with your phone and have the nano connect to your phone. Or just use a usb-microusb from the femaile usb end of the nano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0N3z Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 you either connect to the Pineapples Managment wifi or connect to the hotspot from your phone with the nano. You would have to connect to the SSID your phone broadcast while connected to the webui under networking and then you would be set. Pre setup.
