Hi All, I’m trying to make my raspberry pi act as a router by spinning up a container. I have 2 wifi interfaces (wlan0, wlan1), wlan0 to be connected to my home network and wlan1 to be made an access point. I’m using the hostapd with dnsmasq (added ‘bind-interfaces’) and port forwarding to bring up…

Hi, which version of resinOS are you using? It should be different for resinOS 1.x and 2.x, will ask the project creator , but on 2.x it should be even simpler, using NetworkManager. If that’s your case, you can look around for resources on that (access point creation with NM), and we’ll have more …

Hello @imrehg , I’m using Resin OS 2.0.6+rev3. I have created a dummy repo for the code here . Please take a look at it. Thanks!

Hi @roop We use Network Manager in resinOS2.x to manage the devices connections. Network Manager supports both creating access points and automatically bridging the connection between multiple interfaces. Just drop the below example configuration into a file inside the /boot/system-connections dir…

Hi @joe , Thanks for the reply! I tried doing the mentioned procedure but I’m unable to resolve my problem. Maybe I’m doing it wrong. I have included a resin-hotspot file in /boot/system-connections directory on the SD card replacing with the current device’s uuid. I’m trying to use the Network …

It looks like your wireless interface is not named correctly or is already in use. Please can you burn a dev image, copy the connection file onto the SD card as you did before and connect to the host OS (more info here ) Once you have connected to the host OS please run nmcli, nmcli c and nmcli d p…

Hi- Thanks for this, it solves exactly the problem I am up against. I would like to know, however, if there is a more programatic way of going about this. Perhaps a technique that allows for this same configuration to be affected across a fleet of devices using the platform rather than editing the…

Yes, you can use the NetworkManager D-Bus API to create an access point. This is how our WiFi Connect project creates its captive portal access point: https://github.com/resin-io-modules/network-manager/blob/e8457f4d82334d3ade271995a6df725ada746b8e/src/dbus_nm.rs#L274 Additionally you will probably…

Hi there guys ( @josephroberts , @majorz ), I know that this is an old topic but right now WiFi Connect (rust version) got my attention for the past months and been trying to figure out how do I add a new feature to it. Ideal scenario: The users connects to the WiFi Access Point (Captive Portal), a…

@elsevero could you please confirm if this is working? I remember that you mentioned that you successfully made it happen, is that correct? Thanks :slight_smile:
