Description

A Linux machine can act as a managed Wi-Fi access point or authentication server.

It is useful for administrators building routers, lab networks, enterprise Wi-Fi, or embedded access points. Wireless services affect network access and security, so configuration, passwords, regulatory domain, firewall rules, and hardware support must be handled carefully.

How to run

hostapd.service
