vailixi Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I want to create a wireless hotspot as a system service so when I boot a particular device it becomes it's wireless hotspot becomes available. Are there some configuration files for this? One tutorial I found says open /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/wifi-hotspot and change and change it from mode=infrastructure to mode=ap. This file doesn't exist on my machine. Should I create this file or is there something more up to date? Is there a recommended way to make my Linux PC act as a wireless router? I've looked this up but all I get is a bunch of ads from wireless cellphone companies for hotspotting features on their phones and that's not going to help me.

vailixi Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 I thought this would be easier. I'm going to have to do more scripting when I have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-ee Jones Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Isn't Linux known for it's startup scripts? Surely just have a service that starts on startup.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleo Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Have been using this one https://github.com/oblique/create_ap. Really simple setup and creates a service so the access point starts on boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
