Easily create a WiFi Access Point or WiFi repeater with balenaOS
I pushed the code to my Raspberry Pi 2 and after about 30 minutes, I get a “Online (Heartbeat Only)” message. Everything looks good, and I get a blink code of five and four blinks, which is equally unusual.
A) is it possible to make the AP over 5Ghz rather than 2.4Ghz?
B) is it possible to set the WIFI channel manually?
A lack of IPv6 support is unfortunate and would be nice to be added.
Hello;
I know it is possible to add some code so the wlan0 device is then wlan0 and wlan1 for example. This means the wlan0 device can connect with 2 networks (because of wlan0 and wlan1).
I currently do not have this thing downloaded because I am not at home but according to the manual this isn't implemented
is there a way i can make the wifi repeater into a vpn aswell or mabey add a username or profiles. Is there any way to extend wifi with a username
Hello :wave,
First off, love this project!
I am attempting to select a specific channel for the AP point.
Specifically, IOS is telling me that most likely, the AP is using a channel that others' around me are also using and it may be necessary to reboot the AP to auto-select a new channel.
Using the macOS wifi scanner, I can see that the current selected channel is 1.
How can one change this?
Kindly,
puc.
I think it would be useful if there would be a web UI for managing the WiFi access point. For example, you could change the SSID and password from there and also manage the lease time for devices, or manage the DNS server for it, etc.
Hi, thanks for your work on the wifi repeater. We would like to know about the support for wifi6?
do you have any recommendations for adapters and hardware?
Thanks,
Martins
We could add another mode: router / gateway mode.
In that mode the WiFi would have its own DHCP server, custom IP range and could (optionally) prevent access to the internal network on the Ethernet interface but just allow internet access. In that mode we should also NOT Route packets between clients.
Another extension to this feature could be a captive portal that would e.g. ask users to accept ToS before accessing the internet.
WPA2 is more new/secure. In iOS WPA shows a "Weak security" message.
Enable the reverse of the wifi access point - so the device will instead connect to the internet via wifi, and share its internet connection via use port. This lets the device act as a "wifi" dongle / provide wireless connectivity for a device with no wifi.
Hello, i'm struggling with wifi-repeater since a few days, i'm using raspberry pi 4 with a TP-link Wn722n wifi adapter. So when i set the device up, it's working fine but after a few hours, the repeater has no more access to the internet and the logs says Warning: "Could not detect internet access. Bad WiFi credentials provided or WiFi network has no internet access..." but when i connect to the router directly it's working fine. Any idea how i can fix that? thanks
the wifi repeater is amazing, but when i turn on the repeater, it automatically puts the access point on the wifi adapter of my raspberry pi 3b+ even if i have another compatible adapter connected
Is there a way to choose which adapter you want to mount the access point on?
It would be cool to be able to choose if you want it on wlan0, wlan1, wlan2, etc.
I am trying to use the repeater mode while connecting to an open WIFI. I am not able to do so with the variable WIFI_PASSWORD not defined. How should I do this?
Can support for emojis in AP name be added?
It don't show when emojis are added.
Currently the device can get into an unrecoverable state in the following scenario:
The device in this case will not be reachable so the only means to recovering it is plugging in ethernet cable, or wait for the WiFi network to reestablish if that was the problem.
Some solutions for this problem could be:
Currently it will pick the first available interface that fulfils the requirement (for AP, needs to be "AP capable").
I am trying to set up my raspberry pi 3b+ to be a wired acces point but I keep getting this message in the log: "Error creating Hotspot: 802-11-wireless-security.psk: property is invalid".
Would it be possible to use the Repeater with only onboard WIFi on Raspberry Pi Zero? Any suggestion on how should I go about do this?
hi, is it possible to make an alfa usb dongle awus1900 who's connected to a rpi4 work with this solution? or it won't because no driver?
I want to use this for a Balena device but I need to customize it a bit to meet my needs. However, there is no license posted so I don't know if I can use it as a starting point. If you can assign the repository a license that would be really helpful.
