Settings: You will need this packages: gcc hostapd dnsmasq iptables apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 (Instalation command is included in installation script)
Depending on your USB WiFi adapter you may need to change driver=rtl871xdrv in
hotspot.conf file and install appropriate driver. Look for hostapd driver for
your USB WiFI adapter. By default its setup for Realtek chipset driver RTL8188CUS.
If you want to change default settings like Router name, before installing open
hotspot.conf file, edit ssid=RaspberryPi and wpa_passphrase=lovemesomepi.
RaspberryPi is a router name and lovemesomepi is a password for it.
By default router ip addres is 10.0.0.1, you can change it in routerctrl script.
Instalation:
Open terminal window, navigate to install file and type sudo ./install you
will be prompted to type you username password. Alternatively, just double-click on
install file, but you wont be able to see output from installation script and
you must have gksudo package installed. If installation is done, go to
http://localhost in browser or type routerctrl start to try out if it works.
