Wendy Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I just got my pineapple yesterday and I managed to update the firmware. It took about two hours because of wifi dropping from laptop.or pineapple. When I connect the wifi to my laptop then connect the tetra pineapple, the wifi disconnects from my laptop. The pineapple is still connected, then I reconnect the wifi and then the pineapple gets disconnected. Am I doing something wrong or is there a glitch with the pineapple? Thank in advance.

b0N3z Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 What Operating System are you using and how are you connecting the Pineapple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 I tried in Windows 10 and also Kali Linux. I have the pineapple connected using the usb and plugging it into the outlet. I tried using the ethernet cable on it and was able to keep my computers wifi on. But am I supposed to be able to use my wifi on my laptop and pineapple at the same time without using ethernet?

Yes! Your PC is sharing it's network-connection/internet to the Pineapple through the USB interface. I'm not sure what could be causing your problems, as i don't have that much information to go on. Do you have any power-saving features activated perhaps? Like USB or wifi power-saving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any power saving features for the USB. I was able to get it to work by continually messing around with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
