- Configuration available entirely via GUI

- More detailed error messages
- create_ap. Download and install from https://github.com/oblique/create_ap or from the deps subfolder on this repository.

on Ubuntu
$ sudo apt install dnsmasq hostapd iproute2 iw iptables
WiFi board need to support AP-mode (access-point mode), essential to be able to create wifi hotspots. Check running the following command on terminal:
$ iw list | grep AP
Some proprietary wifi drivers do not support AP-mode (even when the wifi board actually supports it). In such case this app would not work.
- Download the release package at https://github.com/raryelcostasouza/ezWiFiHotspot/releases/
- Extract it
- sudo ./install.sh
Note: to enable non-admin users to create the wifi hotspot, by default, during the installation a rule is added to the /etc/sudoers file. This rule allow all users to execute the script /opt/ezWiFiHotspot/util-root.sh (where the root commands needed for managing the wifi hotspot are located).
