Wifi Lockout on Management AP

[TheFountain]

I'm using the Nano Tactical, means I use it with a power bar independently from my PC. That's why I need access through the management AP of the Nano.

What happened seems strange to me: after some time (around 1-2 hours of operation) I am losing the Wifi connection to the Nano. When I try to reconnect it refuses. Now I reboot the Nano by interrupting the power supply. The wifi comes up, I see the management SSID, I try to connect, but no way. The interim solution is factory reset of the Nano. That's the only way to be able again connecting via wifi. 

I was facing this situatiuon several times now, but I have no idea what's the reason. Does anyone have made similar experiences?

Did you set any filters on the WiFi Pineapple NANO? 

[TheFountain]

If you mean "PineAP-Filters I set in the Recon-Tab", then yes.

Other filters: no (or "not intentionally").

Not many filters, only 2-3 client macs.

 

In the first run I had a lot of modules loaded on the Nano and I thought, the lockout is a reaction of memory overload or so because I have no SD installed. So I reset the Nano to  factory default.

But the next lockout came, even without a single module installed.

If your filters are set to "Allow", this will only allow devices in that list to connect. It's also persistent. 

Unfortunately due to a bug, the management AP and the rogue ap currently share the same filter rules, so you would have to add your MAC to the filters too.

Thank you for that input. Indeed, I had only a few MACs in the filtered pool with "allow".
