Converting your AR-150 to a WiFi Pineapple NANO should be an easy process. However, the web & git is full of broken bin images and botched firmware builders... resulting in a broken or partially-working firmware. The latest working build available elsewhere is 2.4.2. Here, we start with version 2.5.4. This version is almost 100% equal of the original hardware.
Summary for 2.7.x:
- Rootfs 1M (mini 1.2M)
- PineAP(d) working.
- Drivers for: kmod-rt2800, kmod-rtl8187 and others
- Kernel 4.14.171 (OpenWrt 19.02.2)
- Fix LAN and WAN ports. No more swapped ports.
- Use pendrive like original SD.
Recomended setup
- USB 2.0 2 ports hub https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-2-0-2-Dual-Port-Hub-For-Laptop-Macbook-Notebook-PC-Mouse-Flash-Disk/273070654192
- Generic RT5370 adapter
- Please support Hak5 work and buy the original hardware
Notes:
- For format jffs2 (overlayFS) use jffs2reset command.
- If you are stuck at the message "The WiFi Pineapple is still booting" don't panic, this is a known issue with running the WiFi Pineapple firmware on the AR150. Executing the command jffs2reset -y && reboot should resolve your problems.
