HostAPD is a user space daemon for access point and authentication servers. You are going to need the following pieces of software: In order for the Raspberry Pi to act as a WiFi router and access point you need to install some extra software on the Raspberry. All that is left is to configure your WiFi connection. This means that the operating system recognized the USB WiFi Adapter using one of the built-in drivers ( you can return to the terminal by pressing “q”). usb 1-1.2: Product: 802.11n WLAN Adapter usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=7392, idProduct=7811 You can use the spacebar to scroll down a page at a time – towards the end you will see something similar to the following lines: usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 4 using dwc_otg To look at which peripherals the operating system found when booting run the following command: dmesg | more
If you need help connecting to the Raspberry Pi look at this post remotely using a wired network connection.Īfter booting and logging-in you want to make sure that the Raspberry Pi found your new wireless adapter. At this point you need to either connect to the Raspberry Pi via an Ethernet cable or use a keyboard and a monitor to access the Raspberry Pi. Plug the USB WiFi adapter into one of the free USB ports on the Raspberry Pi. Getting WiFi adapter running on the Raspberry Pi I very recommend you do the same – it could save you a lot of headaches. I use the Edimax – Wireless USB adapter because I have found it to be cheap and very easy to work with. This is why it is very important to buy a WiFi Adapter that mentions “Linux” in the product description or package. While drivers are normally readily available for Windows computers – it is a different world for Linux and Raspberry Pi’s. Sometimes you will need to download a driver to make them work.
As you may have experienced with other types of hardware devices not all devices are plug-n-play. Before we proceed I want to point out the importance of buying the right USB WiFi Adapter.
