HotSpot issue

Hi,

I am a new user to zorin OS and i absolutely got delighted by seeing the performance of this distro

The problem that iam facing is that i am using a desktop with an internet connection .recently i bought TPLINK tl wn721n wireless usb adapter so that it can be used as WI-FI Hot spot for my phone. But i am unable to configure the HOTSPOT option.

I used to have a windows 7 os where i used TP-Link configuration utility for soft AP. hope anyone can soon resolve my problem.


Regards

Hi, not sure if this is what you are after:

from here:

Use ap-hotspot

Code:

sudo apt-get install ap-hotspot

then

Code:

sudo ap-hotspot configure

In the first line you declare the card that has the internet connection.
In the second line you declare the card that you want to use as beacon.
In the third line you declare the name that you want to give to your hotspot.
In the fourth line you declare the passworf for your hotspot.

Then you run

Code:

sudo ap-hotspot start


and that's it.
