Using a raspberry pi as a local router?

Sat Jan 25, 2020 2:34 pm

Is there any way to use a raspberry pi as a wireless router without a modem? Just to connect local devices together, not connecting to the wider internet.

Stop where the bridge setup starts.

Hi,

I have been looking for solution throughout several forums without luck.
I use this post as a potential related thread, but please route me towards another one if inconvenient.

I am using my rpi 0 as an apache web server to video stream a csi-connected camera to the local network generated either by the pi 0 as an access point or through my local wifi network. No internet connection is needed here. I use rpi_cam_web_interface and it works pretty well : I get access to my camera video stream onto my win8 laptop and on my iphone. Safari, Chrome, Firefox work well (even though the video is not that fluid but it is another issue).
When I try to see the video stream on the same local network address ("http://myrpi.local/html/index.php") with an android phone (Xiaomi), it does not work at all, whether I use the pre-installed mi web browser, chrome or even Firefox.

Do you have any solution ? I don't understand why this web server would not be functional on all platforms.

Thanks in advance,
B.
