Raspberry Pi as a Wireless WiFi Repeater

[ibis777]

Hi!

I've been trying for a while to establish a connection between the Wi-Fi generated by my raspberry (the raspberry is working as a wireless router) and the Wi-Fi it connects to, and all the posts I read about it are outdated.
What I want is to be able to connect to the raspberry's wifi from my computer and be able to have an internet connection. I'm planning to make like a chain of Raspberries connected via wifi, that ends on a server

[Raspberry] <=> [Raspberry] <=> [Raspberry] <=> [Server]

To configure the connections I followed this: https://lb.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 2#p1355569 (the pugbot solution)
It worked perfectly, but now I'm not being able to connect wlan0 with uap0
Any help you can give me will be useful. Thanks in advance!

The virtual AP is an undocumented hack and to put it simply, it does not work well enough.

Get a wifi USB adapter and configure it as the AP. That will work immediately and for a long time.

(If you prefer solutions that might work, for a while, consider this one. Yes, that is one big mess of dependencies to wrangle with for mild performance in the end.)

Thank you very much!!! Your solution worked perfectly for me (this). I know that buying a wifi USB adapter is much easier, but, if you consider that I have to do it with many Raspberries, it implies a considerable amount of money
