Frob. Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Hi everyone, I just got the PA MKVII and i am trying to set it up but i am running into a problem. I cant seem too complete the setup (says: Setup Failed, Please try again), i have redone the setup atleast 5-6 times with the same info everytime. I have the PA plugged into my laptop via USB-C and i connect to http://172.16.42.1:1471 (on windows) The weird thing is that when i complete the setup i still see the Management SSID change to the name i set it too and i see the Open SSID , even though the setup failed. And when i try to connect again/try again i see the dashboard pop up for a micro second. I hope anyone has a solution for this or i would have to do a factory reset.

Frob. Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 I have almost just done a factory reset and it still wont complete the setup. I let the PA search for the newest firmware, i did not downloaded it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exec4 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Maybe try recovery and install the latest firmware? https://docs.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple/faq/factory-reset-and-recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark_pyrro Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 What firmware file are you using? Recovery image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recovery image? yes at first i used the search over internet fuction. after resetting it asked if i wanted to upload it manually or let the PA search for it itself, so i let the PA search for it (might have done that bit wrong) But i might have found a cause of the setup failing, because when i need to do the verifying the whole pineapple network just disappears completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 What network is disappearing? Ethernet using USB-C or the access point(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The access points (the one's that you create in the setup, management and open SSID) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 If you ssh into the Pineapple (or use the Web Shell in the web UI) and execute ifconfig, can you see the different wlan0 interfaces? Running "uci show wireless" (without the quote marks) should also show radio0 and the interfaces linked to radio0 (the wlan0 interfaces, at least wlan0 and wlan0-1). If not, it seems as if the SoC radio isn't working as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark_pyrro Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 That output looks "kind of" correct. The strange thing is the IP addresses that the wlan0x interfaces get. They should use br-lan and not have their own addresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frob. Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Do you think another reset would help/solve it? Or do i need to change anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 A firmware recovery should solve things if there are no hardware problems, but your radios seems to be up and responding so it doesn't seem like it's failing hardware. Do a firmware recovery and use the recovery image when doing so. https://docs.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple/faq/factory-reset-and-recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frob. Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 So i did a recovery/reset with the link you provided and it still gives the same error "setup failed. please try again". I also did it in another browser. here are some foto's of the steps: https://imgur.com/a/FhNCn2c I still dont understand why the network (pineapple_xxxx) dissapears from my list when i am configuring my PA.

dark_pyrro Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 If you do ls /etc/pineapple is there a file named "setup_required" there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frob. Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 I have done that and then just try to login at: http://172.16.42.1:1471? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 yes, and see if your access points/ESSIDs are visible "in the air" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
