There are a few decent tutorials on how to setup hotspot on Linux, which I will share below, but this tutorial will focus on adversities that you without doubt will face while setting up your AP.
For AP setup we will need:
- Hostapd utility
- Some dhcp utility
- A bit of patience (that was for my case)
In terminal type sudo iw list
this command will show info about your wifi interfaces. Look for Supported interface entry, if AP
is in it, that means your Wifi devices support hotspot mode.
