Has anyone got iPhone to connect to BeaglePlay 5GHz network? I have used a Linksys WUSB6300V2 successfully but iPhones spin.
It looks like my basic setup does get all that is in Debian / Ubuntu Linux: Setup Wireless Access Point (WAP) with Hostapd - nixCraft (cyberciti.biz). It would appear to need a bridge to be properly set up.
There were two design scenarios I was seeking. One was AP from hostapd with only connections to other devices signed in to its AP, and the other was seeing if I could make it an AP that was on local network connected by eth0, getting dhcp addresses from router 192.168.1.1 and it as default gateway.
After looking at SoftAp0-DHCPServer.network, I wonder if a bridge is needed at all it could be configured to work with 192.168.1.1 gateway and dhcp router, get what it needs from a wlan0 connection?
Original SoftAp0-DHCPServer.network:
[Match]
Name=SoftAp0
[Link]
RequiredForOnline=no
[Network]
#?yes
DHCP=no
#192.168.1.1/24
Address=192.168.8.1/24
#how to get from 192.168.1.1
#DHCPServer=off?
DHCPServer=on
I think the confiuration might be called a wireless AP extender.
