WiFi Point to Point

Open old-square-eyes opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Does this framework support WiFi Point to Point? I have a Raspberry Pi that I'd like to connect to my home WiFi, with which I want to supply LAN and internet out the Pi Ethernet to a wired device. That device needs to be on the same subnet so it can be found by devices on the main network segment.

create_ap can't. While linux-router can, which is fork of create_ap.

That device needs to be on the same subnet so it can be found by devices on the main network segment.

If you use linux-router's NAT mode, they are not on same subnet. Two subnets can access each other, as long as you set an entry in routing table on the main net.
