How to make Pi an AP with 2 wifi adapters?

Sat Dec 14, 2013 10:00 am

Hello! I got a question. How to make Pi to be an AP with 2 wifi adapters, one wifi adapter is used to connect to the router, and another one is used to be an AP ? How to do this ?

By the way, I have realized that making an AP with eth0 and wlan0, using "hostapd" and "isc-dhcpd-server".

Thank you !

Why not just one wifi adapter and the built on Ethernet?

I'd assumed the OP is trying to make a Wireless extender.
My way of doing it would be with a pair of powerline ethernet adapters and a single WiFi dongle, but I guess it's horses for courses.
