Trouble creating a wireless access point

[Pixelasker14]

When fallowed this tutorial https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... s-point.md to turn my raspberry pi 3B (running last version of noobs/raspberian and samba ssh server and remot3 installed) in a wireless wireless access point . But when I start dnsmasq and hostapd my network doesn’t show up in the wireless network menus from my other devices. I went over the tutorial 10 times by now. Someone any idea what could have gone wrong?

I edited that tutorial to conform with the Stretch version OS.

What do you mean by "start dnsmasq and hostapd"? They are services that start on boot.

You can check the status of the services with these

Code: Select all

sudo service dnsmasq status
sudo service hostapd status

Both should show active (running). If not, you have a problem somewhere.
