Hi, i´m working on a project with my raspberry PI 4
I need to connect to my raspberry PI another device by eth port, and this device has a fixed IP like 192.168.1.222.
I need also to have my eth card with the fixed IP192.168.1.220.
Finally, I need to connect to my RPI via WIFI from my laptop or smartphone. So, I have a web server and a web page on my RPI, and I need to send a file from the web page to the other device connected via eth.
I have installed RPI hotspot, and now I can connect via WIFI to my raspberry. So this works. I also have done my web and have APIs to send the files....
The problem is that if I connect my raspberry via ethernet to a router, and also connect my device to the same router, all works!!
But I need to redirect traffic to the device without the use of a router.
So, it seems like eth and wlan is not on the same lan. Maybe I need that the wlan gives an ip to the ethernet, to be in the same lan, but I don´t know how to do it. Can anyone help me? Thank you

Hi,

After installing the hotspot, eth0 is missing and dhcpd doesn't want to start because of the static and dhcp use in /etc/network/interfaces.

I repaired that by removing the static definition and adding it to /etc/dhcpd.conf. All seems to work (dhcp, eth0 interface), but the hotspot dont't give internet connection.

After installing the hotspot with this script, the connection to ETH0 is missing on most reboots. I've set my Raspberry up to reboot whenever it has no LAN connection, so every reboot triggers multiple more reboots. Eventually it gets a connection, but it takes a few minutes.

I don't know how to log anything related to this, but it happens on most starts, seemingly randomly.

Whenever I connect my PC to the Raspberry's hotspot, the Raspberry freezes or restarts after a few seconds or minutes. I don't know which one it is, because I've set it up to restart when it freezes.

I don't really know how to log anything related to this, but it happens consistently.

Can I use this on 802.11ac or 5Ghz?

This would allow us to have lots of DNS servers displayed on a list. The user could select a number next to the chosen service to select one. This would have to be deployed after Issue 12 is finished.

If this is given the go-ahead, please create a new branch so that testing and development can go on while leaving the stable branch alone.

Hello, and thank you for your work so far on this.

I put this on a Raspberry Pi 3 (with built-in wifi).
It shows up on the network, but when I try to connect, it sits on the "Obtaining IP Address..." step until it times out.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks.

in my country the default connection is block it how can i change connection to obfs4 or another one!

I'm installing this onto a fresh installation of Raspbian (2017-09-07-raspbian-stretch) on a Raspberry Pi 3b. I am using the stock Ethernet connection as the internet connection and the built in WiFi for the wireless. After the initial installation of Raspbian I verify that the internet works by opening the browser and pulling up google. I install RPI-Wireless-Hotspot and reboot again. The internet ceases to work.

Not sure what's causing it. I'm basically following Know-How 301 and having no luck. I attempt to pull up the internet via the Raspberry Pi browser and a hotspot attached device. Neither worked. I also checked to see if it is able to pull websites via the IP address, to see if just DNS is broken, and cannot do that either.

This does not work at all on a newly written sd card with Jessie or Stretch.

After Install, it is lost from LAN, and it can't be reconnected.

How do I SSH onto my Pi after using this script?

After following all the instruction, i installed successfully without error and rebooted. However, i cannot find the SSID from my phone nor my pc.

Is there anything i missed during the installation? What do i?

We could eventually move over to a nicer looking curses installer, similar to raspi-config

Hi there, is there any way to uninstall the whole thing? Thanks

Check for existence of config files. If so, then rename to ".old"

How would one change the adaptor ie: from wlan0 to wlan1 ?

After, running this script, my hotspot is finally made. Thanks a lot for the same.
But, suddenly my ethernet dies, now I cannot use internet on my pi.
Is there a fix to solve the same.
ifconfig doesn't show an eth0.

I installed it appr. a year ago and it worked (on 3B+).
Now, after a year, having installed it on the same RPi, it doesn't.
The moment it is installed, it reboots the Pi and kills the WiFi.

Is there a solution to it or should I just rather forget this project for good?

for some reason manually starting udhcpd via ssh is required before devices can connect

Is there an script I can run to restore the original config files and setting?

Hi,
Thank for this git.

I got an issue, my pi doesn't recognise the wire connexion ... Systemctl tell me that the dhcpcd is failed.

But however, from other devices I can see the AP.

Do you guys have any ideas about it ?

Cheers !

We'll eventually have to pipe text to generate our own configs on the fly, or we're going to have tonnes of configs for every eventuality.

It also makes it easier for the user to enter settings during the config IE custom DNS server.
