Nano - Not able to add clients to the filter

[MrCthulhu]

I've been looking forward to getting one, it finally turned up. Everything went well with the firmware update and I've gone through a plethora of tutorials and videos on the first usage, but... I can't add clients to the client module, it just stays blank, even after a refresh.

Also, the probe logging is a little hit and miss.

Has anyone else had problems like this? I've done a few factory resets, I've even tried the firmware update but when I change the ipconfig

ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

and try and connect to 192.168.1.1 it auto loads my router device.

You ever get that disappointing feeling when you really want something and then it really disappoints! That's me right now :-(

Do you mean the pineapple is not collecting clients when PineAP is enabled with all options checked? Or you cant add clients to the filter?

how so? do you mean recon is not returning results? or maybe the logs themselves?

When doing a firmware recovery the pineapple defaults to 192.168.1.1, this indeed can clash with a home router using the same IP. However if you have already downloaded the required factory flash file then you could actually disconnect temporarily from your home network to complete the reflash. The pineapple will reboot and return to 172.168.42.1 once done.

And that's when you ask the community for some help :)

So after a recon scan it collects SSID(s) and clients attached. When I select them and add to PineAP filter, it says successful. When I go to the client's tab everything is empty.

In the Recon tab I select the client MAC, PineAP Logged Probes and I usually get " No Probes found. Is probe logging enabled? " It's definitely on.

Nope, just a 404 error when I try this then?

The clients tab is for connected clients. adding clients to the filter would add them to the filter page, do you see them there?

From memory this is for finding what other networks a device is/has probed for. Are you doing long recon scans 5-10mins? also just a thought, your using a SD card in the pineapple right? did you change the log location to the SD?

Did you follow the "Firmware recovery" instructions here https://wifipineapple.github.io/wifipineapple-wiki/#!troubleshooting.md and here https://www.wifipineapple.com/pages/faq ?

Yep, clients are moving over to the filter. I'm starting to get a sense I'm doing this all wrong...

Nope, no SD card yet. Just out of the box. Also, 5-10 minute scan is the same results.

Yep, those are the pages I've been following.

Get a SD in the nano ASAP, there is limited space on the device and could be the root cause of some of your issues. Once you have the card in make sure you use the format function to make sure the card is set up correctly.

Also if I were you i would do a firmware recovery ASAP after getting the SD sorted. Im still on IRC if you want to go through it step by step?

Brilliant, thank you. I'll quickly find a spare and give you a bell on IRC - #legend
