Confused Guy Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I'm following the instructions on www.wifipineapple.com/tetra, plug in the USB to my Windows laptop. All I get is flashing blue to solid yellow, back to flashing blue over and over. What is going here? Can't get this thing to work at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is doing the exact same thing when powered through USB, but boots like normal when powered through the 12v adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will not power on with the supplied anker PowerCore+ 13400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmbientTech Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I can power it from TWO USB cables and two batteries, or the included 12v adapter. Trying to pump 5A through a microUSB connector is some seriously wonky action. Also try multiple USB cables -- many of mine had too much voltage drop at high current. Two stiff cables with a snug fit into the connector are required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
