In this file go to the line #DAEMON_CONF=” ”, uncomment it by deleting the # before it and enter your path in between the quotes. Now we need to link this hostapd file as a default: sudo nano /etc/default/hostapd Ssid is the host name which will broadcast to the other devices and wpa_passphrase is the password.You need to change these to your preference. Type the following commands in the new file: interface=wlan0

You need to configure the host software package, to do that: sudo nano /etc/hostapd/nfĪ new file will be created. Hence, we will rename the existing file and create a new one, so that dnsmasq will use this file: sudo mv /etc/nf /etc/ Now, restart the DHCP service by: sudo service dhcpcd restartĭnsmasq’s default configuration contains lots of information which is not being used here. Then add these lines at the end of the file and save it- interface wlan0 Dnsmasq acts as both a DHCP and DNS server so that the user can assign IP addresses and it can process the requests of DNS through Raspberry pi itself, and also it becomes easy to configure.ģ. Adding a static IP for the access pointĪssuming that the standard 192.168.#.# IP is being used for networking we are going to set up the WiFi IP to 192.168.0.1 by editing the DHCP configuration file: sudo nano /etc/nf Hostapd is the one which allows the user to use the WiFi as an access point or as a hotspot. Stop these services temporarily for doing a couple of other changes by: sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq

Now, let us install our two software packages i.e hostapd and dnsmasq : sudo apt-get install hostapd

Plug everything in and get into the terminal.īefore moving to installing and setting up the packages, you’ll have to update and perform an upgrade on pi by entering the following commands: sudo apt-get update Very basic knowledge of Linux and Networking would be useful (but not mandatory) since we’re going to get into the command line here. Setting up your Raspberry Pi as a wireless access point if you get a different result, search online for it and see if it is supported. We found out that this dongle doesn’t support AP mode by default. To do this, open up the terminal with the dongle plugged in and type: lsusb If you have a Raspberry Pi 3, then just skip to the next heading but if you are using an older version of the Pi along with a USB WiFi dongle, you need to make sure that it supports WiFi Access point.

Monitor, keyboard, mouse (if you’re not using SSH or VNC) for initial setup.

Micro SD card (8GB or larger) with Raspbian on it.

Raspberry Pi model 3 or earlier version with a WiFi dongle.

By this, you’ll be able to use this connection with any devices that you have with the information of whatever security has set up on it.

Basically, it accepts the incoming connection using the WiFi which is built on Raspberry Pi (in case of the Pi 3 or USB WiFi dongle for the rest) and passes the requests to the Ethernet port.

It will allow you to connect to the internet over a WiFI using the Raspberry Pi as the bridge to the internet. What exactly happens, when Raspberry Pi is configured as a WiFi Hotspot? But before getting that to work, you need to do some initial setup which we will mention here today. Instead, you could take with you the popular Raspberry Pi computer and get yourself WiFi access in no time. If you ever happened to be in a place such as a hotel or a workplace where they only provided an Ethernet connection and you needed Wifi to get your device(s) connected, then taking a wifi router along might not be the best solution.
