Kook Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I can't connect to my wifi pineapple nano. I was able to connect to it before but I was experiencing some problems so I decided to do a firmware recovery. I followed the instructions: Next, follow these steps to access the recovery web interface and update the firmware. Unplug the WiFi Pineapple completely from all power sources. Begin holding the RESET button on the device. With the RESET button held, power on the device. Continue holding the RESET button for 10 seconds, then release. NANO: The blue LED will remain solid TETRA: The yellow LED will remain solid Connect the host PC to the WiFi Pineapple via the USB Ethernet Port NANO: The male USB A plug TETRA: The Micro USB port labeled ETH 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). From the host PC, browse to http://192.168.1.1 Click Choose File and select the factory firmware image downloaded above. Click Update Firmware. This process will take several minutes. Do not interrupt the power supply while the firmware is updating. Once complete, the WiFi Pineapple will restart. Reset the the WiFi Pineapple facing USB Ethernet interface back to DHCP or 172.16.42.42 with netmask 255.255.255.0 But when I try to connect to it via 192.168.1.1 it goes to my router login. Please Help. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I doing wrong? Just disconnect from your wifi/router. The pineapple defaults to 192.168.1.1 also so there is most likely a conflict. Disconnect and try again.

Kook Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 I've tried disabling my wifi of my laptop adapter so it wouldn't connect to the router and still can't connect. Do i have to set the wifi pineapple nano to 192.168.1.2 or can it be some other address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kook Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 So I tried setting my laptop wifi adapter to 192.168.1.2 and the nano to 192.168.1.1 and that didn't work. Also I disabled my laptop wifi and set the nano to 192.168.1.2 per firmware recovery instructions and then tried to go to 192.168.1.1 on my browser and nothing. I can ping 192.168.1.2 but not 192.168.1.1 I get the message: Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.1.2: Destination host unreachable.

Just_a_User Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 are you holding the nano's reset button down and holding it before you plug it into your laptop? keeping it held for 10 secs right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kook Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 I unplugged pressed and held button as I inserted back into my laptop and released the button 10 seconds after it was plugged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, if done correctly then it should be in uboot recovery mode. the wifi pineapple nano will automatically take the IP of 192.168.1.1 when in this mode. Ignore your wifi adapter settings your not using it so don't change them. The adapter that shows up as connected (on ubuntu its USB Ethernet) on your laptop will need to have its IPv4 address manually changed to 192.168.1.2 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0. save and exit. You may need to disable this interface and re enable it for those changes to take effect, on Ubuntu i use the interface switch quickly off and on and its done. Once done you should be able to browse to http//192.168.1.1 to upload the factory version of the firmware (not the upgrade file) and start ythe flash process.

Kook Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Ok. Finally it worked. I disabled my wifi on my laptop and reset the pineapple again and bam. I tried that 2 times before but I guess my laptop adapter was enabled and caused some sort of conflict. Thanks for the speedy replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
