Wifi hotspot software package other than ap-hotspot?

Question

I have tried using ap-hotspot to create a wifi-hotspot but it gives me some problem every time I use it . I just want to ask is there any other software package that create a wifi-hotspot othen than ap-hotspot ?

Answer 1

I really like create_ap and it's very lightweight.

git clone https://github.com/oblique/create_ap
cd create_ap/
sudo make install

To create your hotspot just run the command

create_ap wlp2s0 wlp2s0 MyHotspot Mypassword

And that's all there is to it! (Note in my case the same device is used to transmit & receive - but if you're using two different cards just use those instead)

Answer 2

Here are two I found on Google:

Create a WiFi Hotspot 1

Create a WiFi Hotspot 2

Google Search: hotspot software for ubuntu -ap-hotspot

There are still some using ap-hotspot, but there are others that do not. Also, there are a number of YouTube videos.
