AR-150 WiFi Pineapple NANO
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 2.0.2, which contains many bugs & security issues. Here, we start with version 2.4.2.
As the AR-150 only has 1 radio, it's necessary to add a second WiFi adapter. This firmware has been compiled with RT5370 support, available from Hak5 or Amazon for £5.
Summary:
- Correctly-configured MTDs, allowing 2.4MB of overlay/tmp for modules. It doesn't sound like much, but with most modules being <10KB in size, it should be sufficient without adding an SD card.
- RT5370 WiFi adapter support built-in.
- PineAP(d) working.
- Added support for 2 port USB hub (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-2-0-2-Dual-Port-Hub-For-Laptop-Macbook-Notebook-PC-Mouse-Flash-Disk/273070654192?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649)
