Ethernet connection not working after creating an access point
I created an access point on my ASUS Tinkerboard using the command
create_ap -n wlan0 MyNetwork MyPassphrase
The AP works fine (I can connect via SSH to the tinkerboard) but I can't access the Internet with the ethernet connection on the TInkerboard. How can I fix this problem?
The documentation suggests that the -n option removes internet connectivity,
AP without Internet sharing:
create_ap -n wlan0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
Since ethernet ports do not support the creation of virtual aps create_ap does not share internet over ethernet. U'll probably need to share internet from your wireless interface to ethernet.
This should help.
Also, like u mentioned -n disables internet connectivity. However if you want to share ethernet internet over wifi you cold use
create_ap wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
which follows the general format of
create_ap [options] <wifi-interface> [<interface-with-internet>] [<access-point-name> [<passphrase>]]
There isnt any man page, but a create_ap --help
should help.
Hope this helps.
create_ap wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
this is your solution
