NanoPi NEO Air, Wi-Fi AP

[mikemoy]

I like my NanoPi NEO Air allot. So far it's much better than a few of the other products I have gotten from you in the past, meaning that it runs far cooler than the others.

One thing I am trying to figure out is if i were to place this in a production unit, without having terminal access how can i get my user to set up the Wi-Fi for their network ?

I was wondering if it would be possible to act as a AP on a default setup so that they could connect to it and change the wifi settings.

Hi, mikemoy,
Use MicroSD Card to boot and storage the system, then edit the file under a Linux PC ?

I dont think you understand my question. Think of it like you bought it at the store, and you dont know anything about it. How are you going to set up the WiFi? Most stuff like this comes out of the box in AP mode so you can use your phone or laptop to connect to it, go to its web page to set it up and reboot it.

hey guy,
If you use NanoPi NEO Air you must setup the WiFi configuration by terminal, or you can use a serial cable to configure the USB WiFi configuration. Of corese you can configure the board as WiFi AP, but the board doesn't support as AP module and normal module as the same time.

That is not what I am saying. It starts in AP mode, then you can connect to it via your browser on your phone or laptop.
Once you configure its Wi-Fi settings, then it will reboot and start up in client mode.

You need modify the file system to support WiFi AP, about how to configure the way is as well as Linux.
