hoochrulez55 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Good day all, Just set up my new mk 7 last night. I am trying to connect to the internet wirelessly through the client connection so I can start downloading modules and packages. It says I have no internet connection. I can access the pineapple through the open ap which I believe is correct.. is there something I am doing wrong? I downloaded the firmware and completed the set up process but for some reason I can’t connect to the internet to download things I want. I am sure that I am doing something wrong.

dark_pyrro Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Have you tried rebooting and/or setting date and time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoochrulez55 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 It did say in the notifications something about the time not matching. I have rebooted several times though. Where is that located in the PineAP and I will definitely check that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaKing Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Connect to the management AP. Make sure wlan2 is connected. I think that sometimes the Internet connection popup appears even when you're already connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoochrulez55 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 So what you are saying is that I should be connected to the home wifi network aka the management ap and not the pineapple network? I can't access the pineapple from my management ap. Not sure what the IP address is. I've tried using the 172 ip after the4 set up. It just spins. I think something might have gone wrong in the set up process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 The management AP is the one on the Pineapple, not your home WiFi. It's the same IP, i.e. 172.16.42.1:1471 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoochrulez55 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Ahhh so that's most likely my issue. I believe I put my home wifi network on WLAN2. I have to put the open network (wlan2) as the client mode so that I can connect wirelessly to download items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 no, your home network should be connected using wlan2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoochrulez55 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 By the sounds of it I might have some things plugged into the wrong places... I will take this info and report back once I am in front of the pineapple again after work. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 1) Connect to the management AP of the Pineapple 2) Visit http://172.16.42.1:1471 and log in 3) Make sure you are connected to a wireless network as a client using wlan2 (such as your home WiFi) 4) Make sure that the Pineapple has the correct date and time 5) Try something internet related (such as checking for updates, getting the list of modules, etc.) It should work. If you have named the management or open AP of the Pineapple the same as your home network AP, you will have to rename the management AP of the Pineapple. They shouldn't be the same ESSID. The management AP and the open AP of the Pineapple is totally unrelated to your home WiFi (or any other WiFi network). It's networks provided by the Pineapple. No need to complicate that further. Just for reference: wlan0 is the Open AP wlan0-1 is the Management AP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoochrulez55 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Thank you! I will check when I am home this evening. Where can I find the management AP name that I set up? I might need to reset it all because I can't remember what name I put... It might have been the same as my home wifi but I can't remember.. I will mess around with this tonight.

hoochrulez55 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 I think I might have made the mistake of using my home wifi as the management AP. How do I reset the Pineapple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 You can probably solve it without resetting the Pineapple. Connect using USB-C, or use the open AP if you haven't configured any restrictions, and change the name. Resetting is in the docs https://docs.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple/faq/factory-reset-and-recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoochrulez55 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Oh. I thought I would have to change the management AP, as I believe I set that as the same SSID and password as my home wifi.. Can you configure the management AP in the 172.... etc interface?

hoochrulez55 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 I thought that the management AP was only configured during set up. i didn't know you could mess with it after the fact. I will check that out when I get home tonight. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 You HAVE to change the management AP if it's the same as your home network. Just do as I told you in my previous post to change the ESSID/AP name of the management network. It's under Settings > WiFi if you are on fw 2.1.2.

I will do that when I get back home tonight. I am on the latest firmware as I just downlaoded it yesterday during the initial set up automatically. Thanks for your guidance and patience with me. I am new to the platform 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoochrulez55 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 One question, I can access the 172.XXX.XX.XX ip only from the pineapple wifi network or open ap. This is correct right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Yes, if you're not connected to some other network that uses that range of course. But, if you connect to one of the interfaces of the Pineapple that enables you to interact with it locally, then it's the 172.16.42.0/24 range. The "interfaces" can be the management AP, the open AP or the USB-C based ASIX NIC/adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to change the old home wifi creds out of the management AP section. Thanks for the assist I greatly appreciate your help! This is going to be such a useful platform for learning and network auditing. Thanks dark_pyrro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
