is anyone else having connection issues when trying to setup an internet connection ?

Please keep in mind I have been using Pineapples since markiv.

first I tried wireless client mode (which has no other option then to use wlan2 ? is it meant to be this way? if so why is there a select interface drop down?).  scanned for SSIDs. selected my SSID. put in password (if I put in the wrong password the connect bar has a circling animation that just appears to circle forever. and I can no longer scan for SSIDs until I reboot.). then it looks as if it connects (green checkmark). I click save config. switch to another page. and switch back and it is no longer connected. and I would be lucky if it decides that it can scan again or not. 

 

Trying ICS through windows. which is normaly my preferred way with the other Pineapples. I go through the usual steps. (which normally would include at the end changing my internal LAN IP to 172.16.42.42.) before testing the network. and I still cannot get out. I check the routing table. and it has changed to 192.168.137.1 which is the IP address windows would like to use for my internal adapter when I first initialize ICS. I do not see a GUI option to change my routes ? this was removed ?

So I can connect to a wifi network but and load the news... but when I add modules and go to install dependencies it keeps erroring saying there is no network connection

If you ssh into the pineapple can you ping 8.8.8.8 for example? or run 'opkg update' successfully? if so then the pineapple is online and working and the module has an issue. You should be able to browse to the modules directory and find the dependency script, run it manually and see if you get the actual error output. that might give a clue as to what the root problem is.

yup that's the weird thing, can ping and tested opkg without issue.

Should just be the modules dependency script then, see if you can find it on the pineapple and when you run it manually it might give more clues. either way its not the pineapple but more the module, maybe its looking for an old source or has a small typo etc. go looking, see what you find and report back!

I have the same problem here

When  opkg update:

* opkg_download: Failed to download https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/packages-19.07/mipsel_24kc/routing/Packages.gz, wget returned 4.
* opkg_download: Check your network settings and connectivity.

I cant connect to any wifi or internet sharing.

SAME exact issue I'm having, and still no response to a unit exchange request!

Thank you for the detailed report! It really does make a difference.

I'm not able to check right now, but perhaps there is an issue with connecting to WPA2/3 Mixed APs. I'll update this thread when the week starts and I've had time to investigate.

Unit replacements are for hardware faults, which this is extremely unlikely to be. Can you confirm if the AP you're trying to connect to is WPA2/3 Mixed also?

Thanks

Same problem here, but I even tried it on an open network. I'm using firmware 1.0.0. Scanning in the Wireless Client Mode takes a split second to populate with a number of networks, but attempting to connect to one of them results in an "exit status 1" error, and the spinning circle of death.
