Unable to see wifi network when TX2 set up as access point (hostapd)

Hello,

I’m trying to set up my TX2 to work as a wifi hotspot with hostapd. I don’t get any errors on the TX2 itself.

iw wlan0 info shows

iw wlan0 info
Interface wlan0
	ifindex 7
	wdev 0x1
	addr 00:04:4b:79:ca:d4
	ssid MYNET
	type AP
	wiphy 0
	txpower 31.00 dBm

hostapd is running fine and my hostapd config looks like this

interface=wlan0
ssid=MYNET
driver=nl80211
hw_mode=a
channel=36
ieee80211n=1
auth_algs=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0

and yet I cannot see a network with the SSID MYNET from any of the devices right next to the TX2. Tried with a different board as well.

Hi,
We don’t have much experience in setting up this use-case. It would need other users to share experience.

Have you tried
GitHub - oblique/create_ap: [NOT MAINTAINED] This script creates a NATed or Bridged WiFi Access Point.
