USB WiFi dongle with AP mode

Post by Srdjan Stankovic »

Hi,

does anyone have experience with USB WiFi dongles?
I need USB WiFi dongle with AP mode to setup it as Access Point on my RevPi Connect. Can someone suggest any model?

Thanks
Kind regards,

You may use for example the USB Wifi dongle from our shop which we have proven to work as AP with the command

Code: Select all

iw list | grep AP

But if you use an USB Wifi dongle and you would have to reset it as it behaves strange you would have to reboot the whole RevPi Connect. But how about our Wifi and LTE router? It is a din rail mountable router and perfect for industrial applications. With the RevPi Connect you are able to reset the router in case of connection loss by using the relais. There is an example watchdog script in /home/pi/connect/revpi-connect-watchdog.sh that you may use as a template.
