Area72 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hello, I got my hands on my own Tetra after many months. After watching hours & hours of instructional video's, reading over & over again forums, Discord & manuals I have difficulties setting up the Tetra. So everything is brand new, new laptop, new Tetra etc. and all from scratch. I'm using a Windows 10 (HP Probook). Unboxed the Tetra and connected it as followed. AC/DC plugged in, Ethernet cable plugged in Tetra and the Y cable from ETH1 to computer. The blue light is solid static. Now from my Windows 10 machine I'm unable to access the http://172.16.42.1:1471 in any browser. From the adapter settings I have checked all the instructions to do as followed https://docs.hak5.org/hc/en-us/articles/360010471434-WiFi-Pineapple-NANO-Windows-Setup But for some reason I can't access the http://172.16.42.1.1471 in any browser to see the welcome message and to complete setup. Is anyone able to help me out please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogreen95 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I'm having the same problem I went in and manually configured the IP address and shared it with my WIFI but still unable to access the 172.16.42.1:1471 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theDerp Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I have just received the unit and plugged in and no love. Powered up lights blink then starts over and over. Seems like a bad cable or bad units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irukandji Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Have you tried the y-cable in the ethernet 1 usb port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irukandji Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 That's weird. I never had a firewall issue. You could ask the discord or IRC. https://shop.hak5.org/pages/community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskimoSuntan Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I should have never bought this tetra , im glad i didnt pay the full price, doesnt work , the directions are horrible, I shouldnt have to troubleshoot something that is new for this amount of time. Min is stuck at the firmware flashing, what a waste of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did you pay for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidpicks Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Set my tetra up yesterday to a raspberry pi 4. Typed in 172.16.42.1 (did not need to type 1471) and it went straight to the set up page as described in both the book and the YouTube videos. Set up was immediate and I was using it straight away testing deauth attacks on client devices (what its has been bought for). Deauth worked within 10 seconds on all devices tested. I’ve not got onto all the other features as not really part of this project I’m working on so I can’t comment on how well that works. Was worried that I’d bought an expensive box after reading (after purchase!) some of the posts on this forum. I think if I’d have read them first I would have held off buying. USB cables plugged into extension on a USB 3 port on the Pi and then mains power. Did not use Ethernet cable for any of the setup. I’ve got very limited (I mean, computer science was just starting at school when I was there!) and I’m just scratching the surface of all this stuff. I’m not a programmer and can just about get round Microsoft excel. Found the set up easy and finding the interface (working with the manual) easy to use too. So, if its not working as per the video set up or the manual / field guide I would suspect something is up, unit or connection (thats how technical I am..) I literally followed step by step and it was running, fully updated and operational easily within 10 minutes. I would never be able to do some of the troubleshooting steps you guys are doing and maybe that helped me out. Pi was out of the box about an hour before set up. Fresh set up on that too. No time for me to mess it up.. Good luck with it, hope you get it working Cheers, Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That jack is there if you want plug into router / modem. Because it's looking for DHCP response on that port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 You shouldn't need to configure a static IP address if you use the USB Ethernet port. That port is configured with a DHCP server to offer an IP address upon request. This is the default for most modern operating systems. You won't need to open ports on your firewall or anything like that. When connecting the ETH1 port on the WiFi Pineapple TETRA to your computer by USB, it will enumerate as a Realtek USB Ethernet adapter. Driver installation should be automatic, however if it is not they can be found from https://docs.hak5.org/hc/en-us/articles/360010555833-Ethernet-on-the-WiFi-Pineapple-TETRA Verify that your interface is set for DHCP and has received an IP address in the 172.16.42.x range. This can be done on Windows with the `ipconfig` command from CMD, or `ifconfig` from powershell. If you do not see an Interface with an IP address in this range listed, check that the interface has enumerated from device manager. The WiFi Pineapple TETRA should be powered with the included AC adapter. Connecting to the WiFi Pineapple TETRA is no different than connecting to any other ordinary home network - the only difference is that the USB Ethernet adapter is built into the device itself for convenience.

zemitch Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hello, Same issue. I try to setup my pineapple testra on my Windows 10 Notebook. It just not working... I try all tips I found on Internet.

zemitch Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I did a try wirh an Rasperry 4. No chance. Actually, I think it is not an OS relative issue but hardware. The eth1 device is not detected by any OS. Any good advice would be well appreciated :-) Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zemitch Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hello, I have just change the USB cable that is in the pineapple package and guess what? My PI4 has detected the ETH1 device... I will try later with Windows 10 and see if it is a cable issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
