Dependencies and Opkg wont update


Recommended Posts

I'm having some trouble with the Tetra. I am using the 15.05 firmware and am able to view and download modules from the web interface. The problem I am running into is that the dependencies will not install. I click the install button and they hang for a few minutes and go back to showing that the dependencies have not installed.  Modules I have tried include : Papers, SSLsplit, and Site Survey

I can SSH into the Tetra and ping google so I know it has internet access. I tried running "opkg update" but it reaches out to  http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/base/Packages.gz. but hangs and does not update. Any help is much appreciated.

Have you tried to do a factory reset and see if that helps? if not try that and how are you providing an internet connection?

Thanks for the responses. I tried the factory reset option a few times with no results. I tried to set it up using a Linux VM (NAT mode, Bridged mode resulted in DNS errors) and it suddenly worked without a hitch. Until this point I had been using a Windows 10 OS. Not sure what the underling issue was but I think it has something to do with the way DNS was configured. I was receiving DNS errors when the pineapple was attempting to resolve www.wifipineapple.com (I could ping the IP of wifipineapple.com, but the FQDN was not resolving).
