tobiasBora Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hello, Once you have a Wifi adaptor, you can use NetworkManager to enable access point by using something like : nmcli device wifi hotspot con-name myHotspot band bg ssid myHotspot password myPassword Or, if it does not work/wants more flexibility you may want to try : nmcli connection add type wifi ifname '*' con-name my-hotspot autoconnect no ssid my-hotspot nmcli connection modify my-hotspot 802-11-wireless.mode ap 802-11-wireless.band bg ipv4.method shared nmcli connection modify my-hotspot 802-11-wireless-security.key-mgmt wpa-psk 802-11-wireless-security.psk myPassword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
