This project is a fork of the no-longer-maintained oblique/create_ap.
- Create an AP (Access Point) at any channel.
- Choose one of the following encryptions: WPA, WPA2, WPA/WPA2, Open (no encryption).
- Hide your SSID.
- Enable Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) with push-button or PIN methods.
- Disable communication between clients (client isolation).
- IEEE 802.11n & 802.11ac support
- Internet sharing methods: NATed or Bridged or None (no Internet sharing).
- Choose the AP Gateway IP (only for 'NATed' and 'None' Internet sharing methods).
- You can create an AP with the same interface you are getting your Internet connection.
- You can pass your SSID and password through pipe or through arguments (see examples).
- bash (to run this script)
- util-linux (for getopt)
- procps or procps-ng
- hostapd
- Version 2.6 or newer is required; earlier versions may fail unpredictably due to a RNG bug.
- iproute2
- iw
- iwconfig (you only need this if 'iw' can not recognize your adapter)
- dnsmasq
- iptables
