Pineapple Flash MK3 How-to

Quick How-To on flashing the Alfa AP51 with the Pineapple Mark III Firmware (1.9)

Quick Overview:
Connect the router to your computer but do not plug in the power. (Needs to be unplugged from power for ~5 minutes before flashing.)
Uninstall Winpcap and reinstall Winpcap with defaults.
Reboot the computer.
Disable all network interfaces/cards not being used for the flashing process.
Setup a static IP and subnet mask. Video uses 172.16.42.42 and 255.255.255.0
Run the flash program and browse for the newest firmware, click "Go" and then plug in power to the router.

While making this video, it seemed that I needed to have the router unplugged from power for about 5 minutes before attempting to flash it. If I didn't it would sit at the "Peer IP" part of the flash process. Also disable all network interfaces/cards not being used for the flashing process.
