Igor Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 7 minutes ago, vivekpk said: i tried to change by nmtui Our (working) solution is not managed by Network manager, so you can't use those tools. Those values are fixed since configuration is on the "proof of concept" level. It works, but I have no time to develop this on super easy management anytime soon. Tools used: hostapd, dnsmasq, ifupdown, iptables. Check their config files to adjust those values manually. I am afraid, no other way. Help with extending AP functionality within armbian-config is more then welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
