I was trying to setup a wifi mesh with raspberry Pi devices.Using this tutorial.
I have used Linux Raspberry Pi OS.
uname -a
result:
raspberrypi 5.15.32-v7+ #1538 SMP Thu Mar 31 19:38:48 BST 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux
First I configureed the raspberry pi as a normal mesh node.
Then I configured the one raspberry pi as a gateway node and the other as a bridge.
To connect the external devices to the mesh network, I created an access-point by using an external wifi adapter (Tp-link TL-WN725N). The configurations are done by referring this tutorial.
After reboot the pi device at the first time it was worked properly, but it does not worked after the following reboot.
I have configured the access point (using hostapd
) in 'wlan1' (external wifi adapter interface) interface.
“This interface getting down after the reboot.”
ifconfig
doesn't display wlan1.
