orange pi pc+ as an Access point -

[sash99]

Hi there i was trying to set up orange pi pc + as a  wifi acces point server. i got most every thing to work fine  i can talk to all the intenal ip remotely just can not talk to internet from wifi side,   from the  board (eth0) itself no problem..

 my configutation is installed -- hostapd and dsnmasq

 /etc/network/interface

# Local loopback
auto lo eth0 wlan0
iface lo inet loopback

# Wired adapter #1
allow-hotplug eth0
#no-auto-down eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
#	hwaddress ether # if you want to set MAC manually
#	pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 3838 # setting MTU for DHCP, static just: mtu 3838

# Wired adapter #2
#allow-hotplug eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp
#	hwaddress ether # if you want to set MAC manually
#	pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 3838 # setting MTU for DHCP, static just: mtu 3838

# Wireless adapter #1
iface wlan0 inet static
hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf
	address 192.168.50.1
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	broadcast 255.255.255.255
	network 192.168.50.0

#	wpa-ssid SSID
#	wpa-psk xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# to generate proper encrypted key: wpa_passphrase yourSSID yourpassword

my /etc/hostapd.conf

interface=wlan0

ssid=IOT
channel=1

my /etc/networkmanager/networkmanager.conf

[main]
dns=dnsmasq
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=true
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:p2p0
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:wlan0

my /etc/dnsmasq.conf ( added these lines)

interface=lo,wlan0
no-dhcp-interface=lo
dhcp-range=192.168.50.20,192.168.50.254,255.255.255.0,12h

my /etc/sysctl.conf (added this lines )

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

my /etc/rc.local ( added this line)

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.50.0/24 ! -d 192.168.50.0/24  -j MASQUERADE

  I can ping and or bring up  webpages from my wan (eth0) from wifi (wlan0)  and vise versa   I can ping 8.8.8.8 ( google dns ) from the wan ( eth0)  but not from wifi (wlan0). dhcp assigns nicely at boot  all that seams fine there . I even tried  using google dns ( as the primary dns severer on the wifi connection  ) still no luck geting to the outside world..    wondering if anyone see the problem or what I might be missing .. it is probably something simple, that  I am just missing it ... as it most likely has to do with NAT and iptables  i just do not know what as it is serving  webages to eth0 and wlan0  it just not routing wlan0 to the internet

 

thank you for your time
