raspberry pi b+ as a dhcp server/repeter? <--alfa r36


i8igmac

Recommended Posts

so, at the moment im waiting on a awus036h to show up in the mail for use with my alfa-r36 to complete the repeter setup...

i plan on comparing bandwidth upload and download speed test's... (My source access point is a long distance away)

my current repeter setup.

ddwrt running on a old linksys router, old and limited on ram etc... i plan on replacing this with alfa-r36 + awus036H (still waiting, not yet tested)....

So, what i have avalible to me at the moment

raspberry pi b+ kali installed

awus036NHA

alfa-r36

So, my raspberry pi has the alfa NHA associated with the accesspoint from a long distance... ping google seems strong... now i would like to broadcast a new wifi network with my alfa-r36... i figured i could start up dhcpd and plug r36 into the pi threw ethernet?

seems that i need help configuring dhcpd... at this point im lost...

What does work currently, i can plug the alfa-r36 as (bridged ap mode) directly into the ddwrt...

ifconfig eth0 192.168.96.1 up
pkill dnsmasq
dnsmasq

God i feel stupid lol... this was a post i made months ago... i try to post my working examples here for this reason...

The above should do the job with a small modification... wlan0 is the out device. At0 can be changed to eth0 for in device...

Im going to bring this thread back as i now have another problem...

i want 2 devices to work with dnsmasq to provide dhcp service's

I currently have my raspberry pi associated with a access point using wlan0... i then have a alfa-r36 wireless router plugged into the pi's eth0 port to act as a hotspot... The script above makes this a working repeater setup (i get awesome speeds with both IN and OUT devices using wireless N) The alfa-r36 is getting serviced dhcp request from the pi...

But now i would like to plug into the pi another alfa card for playing around... My first test is as follows

airbase-ng wlan2 -P -C 60 -c 4

(created a new tap device at0.. karma like access point)

ifconfig at0 192.168.97.2 up

iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface at0 -j ACCEPT

So. at this point my new access point wont provide ip address's to my clients...

iptables is a bit confusing and maybe this is the problem?

EDIT.. i have fixed it... the iptables worked above but with a small adjustment to dnsmasq.conf

interface=eth0
dhcp-range=192.168.96.50,192.168.96.150,12h
interface=at0
dhcp-range=192.168.97.50,192.168.97.150,12h
