Radical_Ronin Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Hey Folks, Just got my new Tetra in and nothing seems to work correctly. Putting my feelers out to see if anyone else is having these issues on new models: -Web interface options do not save when checked/unchecked -PineAP does not start (just hangs on the web console) -wlan0 is missing from options (although it seems to show up in ifconfig) -when attempting to start PineAP from the CLI "infusion" is not found -Red LED continues to blink for no reason -Neither the Client AP or the Management AP show up when enabled Troubleshoting sofar: -Reflased 2.1.0 - No change -Nothing showing up in logs that points to anything (unless i'm searching the wrong logs, which is entirely possible) -I did the google I searched through the forums and over the almighty-interwebs, but I didn't find anything that quite fit this description of an issue (or older models). Any thoughts/suggestions would be supportive since I sold my son's left kidney to get one of these things...

Radical_Ronin Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Just_a_User, I have not, just finished the factory reset last night. I'll give that a shot now and let you know what happens. Thanks for the suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be aware, im sure you will sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical_Ronin Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thanks Just_a_User: Stuck on the step here: From the host PC, configure a static IP address on the WiFi Pineapple facing Ethernet interface to 192.168.1.2 with netmask 255.255.255.0 For example, in Linux run ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up (where eth1 is the interface name of the WiFi Pineapple). Am I supposed to SSH back into the pineapple here? Not entirely clear what they mean by this step since it says "on the WiFi Pineapple" The steps up till that point went fine. I have a solid Yellow LED, just not sure where to configure this static route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely clear what they mean by this step since it says "on the WiFi Pineapple" No the idea is that when booted with the power button held the Pineapple will give itself the IP address of 192.168.1.1 - the idea is you configure your PC/laptop interface thats connected via the USB ETH connection to manually use the IP 192.168.1.2. - be aware that if your home router is also using 192.168.1.1 you will likely have a conflict and problems - so I usually just download the factory firmware file first then disconnect my laptop from the home router while updating. You can then browse to 192.168.1.1 and you will be presented with a firmware upload recovery page where you can upload the factory version of the firmware to flash.

Radical_Ronin Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Awesome, Got if figured out. I was setting the wrong USB interface. Looks like it factory rebooted A-OK. I'll update once I get back to testing. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical_Ronin Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Just_a_User, Everything seems to be working well now. I'm going to play with it a bit today/tonight to see how things hold up. Thanks again for the advice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to do Internet connection sharing or using a 3rd radio to connect via wifi to a AP? or if a Tetra you can always just connect the LAN port to your router.

There is a guide available for ICS at https://wifipineapple.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermostaten Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I am seeing strange SSID names in my list of SSID's discovered - clearing out the pool does not solve the problem - they re-appear. After a clean firmware install i selected Copenhagen as timezone and gave the Admin SSID a name (Admin1337) + the Opens SSID another name (Internet) Any one else have this problem ? Best regards T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermostaten Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The SSID filter does not work on SSID with @ in the name. -------------- Restored the factory firmware 2.0.1 -> upgraded to 2.1.0 Configured the admin SSID (disabled and hidden) the open SSID (hidden) and went to the Filter section. Adding the SSID disable name "Wifi@Norman" and then activated the PineAP + all the options of : Allow Association Log PineAP Events Client Connect Notifications Client Disconnect Notifications Capture SSIDs to Pool Beacon Response Broadcast SSID Pool and saw this after a few minutes: (see image below) and notice that Wifi@Norman was added to the SSID list in the http://172.16.42.1:1471/index.html#!/modules/PineAP view.. I deleted it but it came back ? also after rebooting the Tetra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hi, Thanks for the detailed descriptions, i'm currently trying to reproduce this behavior. Could you generate a debug log via the Help module and attach it here? It would be very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermostaten Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) debug.log NB: I have changed the password for the Admin Wifi :) but left all the MAC as is.. Edited June 5, 2018 by Thermostaten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermostaten Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Here is the sqlite file that contains the strange SSID names and the filter file (the /etc/pineapple/ssid_file is empty) filters.db pineapple.db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
