Hostapd hotspot settings

1. Services to be installed: hostapd

DHCP (ISC-DHCP-server)

DNS (neither dnsmasq nor bind9 is installed)

2. Create the hostapd. conf file, sudo Vim/etc/hostapd. conf (random location)

Interface = wlan0

Driver = nl80211

SSID = xxxxxx

Hw_mode = G

Channel = 10

Macaddr_acl = 0

Auth_algs = 3

WPA = 2 # Remove the following three lines and there will be no password

Wpa_passphrase = xxxxxx # XXXX is the password

Wpa_key_mgmt = WPA-PSK

 

3. Configure DHCP

subnet  192.168.0.0  netmask   255.255.255.0

{

range   192.168.0.2    192.168.0.10;             #设置范围  可以更大192.168.0.0-192.168.10.0

option   routers   192.168.0.1;

option   domain-name-servers   192.168.0.1#（如果设置成8.8.8.8等 就不需要配置dns服务器（dnsmasq、bind9）  用wlan0 ip需要配置dns服务器）; 

}

四、设置开机启动脚本内容 ap.sh

sudo   ifconfig    wlan0   172.16.0.1       netmask     255.255.252.0    #   wlan0ip   也可以手动设置static   

sudo   service bind9 restart     #安装bind9时 wlan0需要设置在bin9启动前  所以这里重启一下bin9，如果是安装dmsmasq就不需要这一步  或者

sudo   dhcpd      wlan0     -pf        /var/run/dhcp-server/dhcpd.pid  #开启dhcp

sudo bash -c "echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"                     #打开IP转发  同样可以设置永久为1

sudo   iptables    -t      nat    -A    POSTROUTING     -o   eth0     -j   MASQUERADE         #设置NAT

Sudo hostapd-B/etc/hostapd. conf # open a hotspot

 

5. Set AP. Sh to start
