How to connect access point and how to store data outside the GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 router

[hdm006]

Hello,

First, thank you, Xchwarse, for everything you’ve done. Thanks as well to anyone who can help me here.

• I recently bought the GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 router along with a WiFi adapter using the RT5572 drivers. After setting it up, the Mango recognizes both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks and provides results. However, I’m unable to connect to my open access point (AP), even though the connection is shared between the Mango router and my computer (Fedora).

Do you have any idea what might be causing this issue?

• I also own a Pineapple Nano, but it isn’t reliable, which is why I created this clone. One question I have is about storing collected data, evil portals, etc., since the GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 lacks internal storage.

I have two ideas but am unsure if they’re feasible:

Option 1: Store data and evil portals on my Fedora machine and create a pipe between the Mango and Fedora. Would this setup be reliable, and how can I configure it?
Option 2: Add a USB hub to the Mango, connecting both USB storage and the wireless adapter. Would this work?
Just to be clear, I’m using this setup strictly for educational purposes (university).

Thank you for your help and contributions!

Hi, I see in some videos that people uses USB hub. You can also consult a project that I saw yesterday that is very interesting and can help you https://github.com/zhaojh329/rttys and https://github.com/zhaojh329/rtty/ . I made an "automated install script" for both you can see it in https://github.com/koko004/rttys-automated

As mentioned in the recommended setup you have to use a usb hub in these cases. If you can't connect to OpenAP you must be using the "allow" mode and in that mode you have to add the mac that is allowed to connect to the whitelist before it will connect.

Thank you everyone. Indeed, I used a usb hub and I connected the wifi adapter and the usb key for the storage. Also, I added another wifi adapter because you can't scan and have the access point running at the same time. When you scan, the IU change the wireless mode to "monitor" so the access point is deactivated. But it doesn't get back to the previous stage as access point. That's why I added a second wifi adaptor (2.4 Ghz+ 5Ghz).
