Setting up a Raspberry Pi as an access point in a standalone network (NAT) Setting up a Raspberry Pi as an access point in a standalone network (NAT)
========================================================================== ==========================================================================
The Raspberry Pi can be used as a wireless access point, running a standalone network. This can be done using the inbuilt wireless features of the Raspberry Pi 3 or Raspberry Pi Zero W, or by using a suitable USB wireless dongle that supports access points. This tutorial is adapted from an official Raspberry Pi tutorial that you can find `here`_.
Note that this documentation was tested on a Raspberry Pi 3, and it is possible that some USB dongles may need slight changes to their settings. If you are having trouble with a USB wireless dongle, please check the forums. .. _here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/access-point.md#internet-sharing
To add a Raspberry Pi-based access point to an existing network, see this section.
In order to work as an access point, the Raspberry Pi will need to have access point software installed, along with DHCP server software to provide connecting devices with a network address.
