A shell script that turns a Linux machine's WiFi adapter into a NATed or bridged wireless access point using hostapd. It supports WPA/WPA2 encryption, hidden SSIDs, client isolation, 802.11n/ac, and systemd integration.

Use cases

  • create a wifi hotspot on linux from the command line
  • share my ethernet internet connection over wifi
  • set up a WPA2 access point with hostapd
  • bridge wifi clients to my lan
  • run a persistent access point as a systemd service
  • create an open wifi network without a password

When to choose

  • you need a simple script-based WiFi AP on Linux with NAT or bridging
  • you want fine control over encryption, channel, SSID hiding, and client isolation
  • you prefer a CLI over GUI hotspot tools

When to avoid

  • you want a maintained project - use the linux-wifi-hotspot or linux-router forks instead
  • you need a GUI
  • you are on a non-Linux platform
