Create a LAN to WLAN Bridge

Tue Jul 30, 2019 8:41 am

Hey everybody,
I bought me a Raspberry Pi 3 B and thought about sending a wlan with it. So the Raspberry Pi is connected via LAN to my Router(wich doesnt support wlan, too old) and the Raspberry Pi sends it out as WLAN. The problem is that I couldn't find any guide for it. There only were tutorials for bridges from wlan to lan not in the other direction.
Any suggestions would be great.

See the second part of this documentation: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... s-point.md
Read only from title “Using the Raspberry Pi as an access point to share an internet connection (bridge)” onwards.

An alternative option can be using a different OS built for Raspberri Pi: DietPi. This is an OS designed to be minimal on first installation, but comes with a number of pre-configured software that can be activated with simple selection menu (that you can call via SSH with the command dietpi-software).
In these programs you can find also the option to activate RPI as Access Point, without having to work on masquerading or internal routing. I tested it in my home and had it working. I also wrote a complete guide, available at the following url: https://peppe8o.com/2019/06/procedure-t ... ess-point/
