WiFi Hotspot - Help !!!

Tue Oct 18, 2016 5:39 am

Hi All,
I have been trying to setup the wifi hotspot on my Pi 3.0 model B with Raspbian lite installed.
I followed couple of website and tried different methods for last 2 week but it fails to work everytime I reboot.

Below are some details.
I used this script and setup and it works.
https://github.com/PNPtutorials/PNP_RPi3_AP.git

When I try sudo ifconfig, I see the wifi with proper ip address. I am able to connect to this hotspot and able to connect to the internet. When I reboot, I still see the wifi, but issue is with the internet and ip.

The IP that I get is 169.254.127.79 from the client and when I check the ifconfig in raspberry, I see it as 169.254.X.X

I am not able to figure out whats going wrong...Why after reboot, wlan0 not getting the proper IP ?.
I tried with this isc-dhcp-server instead of udhcpd and same issue (with fresh raspbian installation).

I have googled it and found that it could be DNS issue however I am unable to figure out.

Can somebody give me a steps for findout (log location or debug utility) to figure out why wlan0 is not getting the proper IP address and not able to connect internet ?.

Thanks...
