peter12 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Somehow it started working - when I installed dnsmasq and set listen address do 127.0.0.1 but when I want activate AP, I must stop dnsmasq first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkaiser Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 when I installed dnsmasq and set listen address do 127.0.0.1 but when I want activate AP, I must stop dnsmasq first. It seems you installed the wrong dnsmasq package. Why not simply following Armbian's documentation how to setup an AP: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Fine-Tuning/#how-to-change-network-configuration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
