The Power Company Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Greetings fellow humans, Where/How can I figure out which of the radios on a Tetra is associated with which pineapple function? My shallow understanding is that the Wifi Pineapple Tetra has four radios in it, which are each used for different tasks by default (pineAP, open and management APs, etc). Most people are satisfied with using the dipole antennas that come with the pineapple, but imagine for a second that you wanted to use, say, a directional antenna with PineAP, but you only have one. Which knobs are attached to which wifi interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixL Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 With the Tetra LEDs facing you, 2x left hand antennas are for wlan0 and the right hand ones are for wlan1. Each radio has two antennas for diversity. wlan0 is typically used for the PineAP access point and wlan1 is used in attack mode to send out beacon frame etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the management wifi network, if you connect to your tetra via LAN or 3rd radio you can disable the management wifi network and you will see wlan0-1 is no longer present.
