How to use wlan1 instead of wlan0

[nikallian]

Hi

I installed raspap on a existing installation of raspbian on a raspberry pi 3B+ which I was using for various other services so I didn't want to ruin my setup. So I tried by editing the config files of raspap to make it work using a USB WiFi as wlan1. Despite my efforts I couldn't have it up and running. Actually, the GUI shows mixed options with wlan0 and wlan1. Moreover, while AP shows up and running and I am able to connect to it, there is IPv4 assignment.

Is there any guide on how to setup raspap with wlan1 having eth0 (in my case it's bond0 since I have bonded wlan0/eth0 interfaces, that's the reason I can't use the internal wifi interface of my raspberry) as upstream (internet) interface ?

Thanks in advance for your help

There is a FAQ that addresses this specifically https://docs.raspap.com/faq/#interfaces
Also discussed here https://docs.raspap.com/defaults/#networking-defaults

Hello Again,

I finally managed to have it up and running without making big changes to my rpi networking configuration. There was a lot of things needed to be changed except those mentioned in the documentation in order to work fully customized.

Currently I have one issue not so important but I would like to find the cause. Below you can see that Hotspot menu doesn't give me any option (buttons) to save my configuration.

Any ideas on why this might be happening ?

thanks in advance!

Just an update,

I don't see buttons (Save, restart) in many other tabs as the DHCP, AdBlocking e.t.c. I followed the full manual installation in order to be sure that no changes to my system will be done without my knowledge and approval.

Thank you

RaspAP is configured in monitor mode. This is all covered in the docs (try the search function)

I am so sorry I just saw it my self. I was my mistake during the custom configuration. I just corrected it.

Thank you once more!

No problem 😉 There are a lot of configuration options with a custom install.
