MistyMind Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hey guys! Just got my Wifi Pineapple NANO in the mail along with the holiday upgrade promotion, and was trying to set it up. I downloaded the firmware from the website and plugged the NANO directly into the computer. I then tried to connect to the PineappleAP via the IP address at http://172.16.42.1:1471 on Google Chrome, and the connection simply timed out. I thought that it may be the browser, and tried it on Firefox with no success. Then I tried both again on a different computer (both computers used Windows 7) again with no success. Then I did both AGAIN while using the USB-Ethernet Y adapter that came with it which also didn't work. Then I tried putting a microSD card to see if it did anything with no success again. Yes, the blue LED was solid when I tried to connect, and yes I restarted both the computers and the NANO. Am I missing something? Any help appreciated. -MistyMind (Would post pictures, can't figure out how) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decipher Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Misty, Please check if Your Nano is detected by the Windows Box as a network adapter, and then open your command prompt to execute ipconfig and see of you got the ip on the adapter. Also, checkout the setup video in case you have missed that. https://www.wifipineapple.com/pages/setup Cheers Decipher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried another one on the same network and it acts normally. For some reason, even after updating it and following everything, it does not show up on the ipconfig on the first two computers still. Thanks, Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistyMind Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Correction, something (that I think is the Pineapple) appears in the ipconfig. It saysEthernet adapter Local Area Connection 2: Media State.….…...: Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix: [nothing here] Not sure if it's just something that exists or the actual Pineapple failing.

DeadPooling Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I just got my Pineapple Nano for Christmas and I ran into the same issue. I noticed in Device Manager it showed up as AX88x72A and was missing a driver. After a little research I found a compatible driver at the following site: http://plugable.com/products/usb2-e100/drivers They have drivers from Windows 10 on down...about half way down the page they have ones for Windows 7.....http://plugable.com/drivers/asix/windows/latest/ After running the installer the wifi pineapple showed up as a network adapter and I was then able to access the webpage. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
