None of these steps are particularly hard, but there is one major consideration. His tutorial uses bridged mode, which is suitable for a simple repeater, but you'll want to replace the bridging configuration with a routed+NAT configuration.
With Network Address Translation (NAT) to allow your wifi devicesĬonnecting to the RPi to share its IP address for Internet access.ĭave Conroy has a nice howto, including links to a version of hostapd modified for the Edimax nano wifi adapter that I use for creating hostspots. From what you're describing, you probably want routing Internet connection - presumably some sort of existing network. If not, there's no sense continuing until you have one that does. If one of them supports master mode (no error), you're in business.
Try sudo iwconfig wlanX mode master on each one. The first challenge is making sure one of the wifi adapters supports 'master' mode which is necessary to configure it as a hotspot. I have done this with 2 USB nano wifi adapters.
