How to create a WiFi hotspot?

I tried to do "Use as Hotspot" in the Network applet in Settings, but it gives an error: "Connection Failed Activation of network connection failed."

Re: How to create a WiFi hotspot?

Have you tried create_ap?


do it good first, it will be faster than do it twice the saint wink
