Hotspot sharing wifi (access point)

Banana Pi SBCs design BPI-M2 Ultra / BPI-M2 Berry(A40i)
1

Hello

Am a Banana’s Neewbe ! :blush:

I would like to create a wifi hotspot (sharing wifi to allow local access to my bpi)

I read a lot of topics about bpi R2 or m3 on it ! :anguished:
…but nothing about bpi-m2u (ultra) aka R40 (if am not wrong)

So, I would like to clarify myself on it.
Do the BpiM2U allow to creat local wifi hotspot ?
Do the Access Point is working on it ?
Do you have informations ? A good topic for me ?

Thanks :upside_down_face:

Hello, I succeed to create an AP on M2U on Ubuntu，but it is very strange I can’t find the ssid signal which was I created when I use my laptop or phone to search wifi.

Here are the steps:

  1. apt-get update

  2. apt-get upgrade

  3. apt-get install hostapd

  4. vim /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

    input these to hostapd.conf:

    interface=wlan0
ssid=test_m2p
driver=nl80211
country_code=US
hw_mode=g
channel=1
max_num_sta=5
wpa=2
auth_algs=1
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_passphrase=12341234

  5. hostapd -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf image

How did you install the driver? I have extreme problems with the current kernel… Bildschirmfoto%20von%20%C2%BB2018-06-09%2015-44-03%C2%AB

Any Idea how to fix this?

Hello, I created ap successfully, here are steps:

  1. download hostapd packages( I’m using hostapd-2.6.tar.gz )

  2. install hostapd in debian

  3. after you installed, execute these commands：

  • nmcli radio wifi off
  • rfkill unblock wlan
  1. start hostapd： hostapd -B /etc/hostapd.conf

Ok, but that is not the problem. The Problem is I can not install the driver for my Wifi Adapter. (Rocketek 600).

I want to use this adapter, because the dual band wifi support.
