Making the Raspberry Pi into a wireless router

Following http://raspberrypihq.com/how-to-turn-a-raspberry-pi-into-a-wifi-router/

instructions

installing software

first install a daemon for taking care of access point and authentication server details:

$ apt-get install hostapd

then install a dhcp server:

$ apt-get install isc-dhcp-server

dhcp config

edit the file /etc/dhcp/dhcp.conf:

remove the lines

# ------------------------------------
# option definitions common to all supported networks...
##### option domain-name "example.org";
##### option domain-name-servers ns1.example.org, ns2.example.org;
# ------------------------------------

change the line:

# ------------------------------------
# If this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local
# network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented.
authoritative;
# ------------------------------------

add the lines:

# Next we need to define the network and network addresses
# that the DHCP server will be serving. This is done by adding
# the following block of configuration to the end of file:

subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range 192.168.10.10 192.168.10.20;
    option broadcast-address 192.168.10.255;
    option routers 192.168.10.1;
    default-lease-time 600;
    max-lease-time 7200;
    option domain-name "local-network";
    option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
}
