Hi
Is it possible to configure Banana Pi M2 Zero as WiFi AP? I am familiar with hostapd, dsnmsq etc. Which image I can use for first experiments?
Please excuse me the basic questions but BANANA board is something new for me. I would like to switch from Raspberry Pi Zero W.
Yes, it is possible.
I advise to connect serial console during experiments. Even if some experiment breaks the network configuration, the device will be still accessible.
One should use: nmcli, dsnmasq and hostapd
You want to use 1 managed and 1 AP., So you need the second line. Total = 2, so ≤ 4 is ok. But you can only use 1 channel. The STA (managed) can only use the same channel as the AP.
There is nothing there about mesh, so it is not supported.
