I am working on a raspberry for a POC demo. My raspberry needs to be set up as a hotspot and that went fine following this tutorial: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/access-point.md
However I can't get to easily switch between a "normal" wifi and the hotspot. I need to get back to a normal behavior to download packages to the raspberry for instance. I found : http://sirlagz.net/2013/01/22/script-starting-hostapd-when-wifi-goes-down/ . Typing the same command does not seem to do the job.
What I've tried is :
I can see the raspberry is connected to the correct wifi but apparently I have no internet connection and can't download any packages.
Maybe there is something more to do about the iptables but I really don't know much about that and I prefer not screwing all my configuration.
Any idea about the procedure to switch between the two "modes"?
Cheers
I have found a solution that works perfectly.
Disable access point :
sudo systemctl disable hostapd dnsmasq
comment the static ip config in /etc/dhcpcd.conf
sudo reboot
Enable access point
sudo systemctl enable hostapd dnsmasq
comment the static IP config in /etc/dhcpcd.conf
sudo reboot
The difference is instead of just stopping the 2 services I completely disable them.
