after downloadmoreram.com was such a success, i guess something like wifi-hotspot as a service should exist somewhere too

hm, without adding "new" hardware you say?

  • add an old wifi stick
  • add an old raspberry pi 1
  • stick the stick into the berry
  • add hostapd package to berry
  • add old ethernet calble and connect berry with the switch in the picture
  • configure hostapd to mimic a wifi hotspot (thus its not "added", just mimic'ed)
  • configure routing, nat, dns and dhcp server (wlan side) on berry
  • configure dhcp client on berry for lan side
  • use an old cable tie to tie things together so it becomes "one piece"
  • connect the switch with another old ethernet cable to your neighbours internet router

tadaaa !!! turned into wifi hotspot without added hardware beeing "new"
