Chapter 6. Setting Up a Wireless Access Point

In this chapter, we will be installing and setting up a Wireless Access Point (WAP) on our BeagleBone system. In the first phase of the installation, our media server will be wide open. Once we have things running smoothly, we will add layers of security.

We will do this by installing and configuring the following programs:

  • hostapd: This will install the access point software
  • DHCP: This will provide the user with a local IP address
