Can a raspberry pi be used as an access point?


Asked by Haven Ferguson on Dec 10, 2021 FAQ



If SSH is enabled on the Raspberry Pi access point, it should be possible to connect to it from another Linux box (or a system with SSH connectivity present) as follows, assuming the Pi account is present: The Raspberry Pi is now Your Access Point!
Besides,
With just a few commands we can make a Raspberry Pi wireless access point that can be used to share your home internet with all of your devices! This is made especially easy now that the Raspberry Pi ‘s come with built in wireless and and Ethernet port. All of the hardware is built in and we just need to make some simple software configurations.
And, Setting up a Pi as an access point (AP) is a bit more advanced than using it as a client, but its still only a half hour of typing to configure. If you want to, this tutorial will make it so the Pi broadcasts a WiFi service and then routes internet traffic to an Ethernet cable.
In this manner,
The goal of this project is to create a wireless access point using a Raspberry PI Zero W. The access point or AP (for short) will not need access to the internet. Instead it will provide a private (intranet) network that can be used for robot control, and sensor processing.
Also,
From a VPN travel router that you can use to safely connect to wireless hotspots on the go, to a portable access point that lets you tether and share your mobile data with multiple devices, there are a number of uses for your Pi's on-board Wi-Fi beyond simply connecting to a network.
