hello all,
I've spent some time tinkering with my pi trying to set it up for some of my smaller wireless devices to connect to in an area that is outside my wireless range and haven't had much success. I have tried setting it up in ap mode and have had a little success there as I was able to see it to connect to but didn't have any connection to the internet and I couldn't completely connect to the SSID, almost like it rejected my connection attempt.
I've tried a few different ways to do this both threw the GUI in the upper right hand corner and selecting create AP as well as with the nmtui interface in the command line.....however I'm not sure I did things correctly here and I played with both the bridged options and the AP options.
My hardware is a raspberry pi 3B and it is running raspberry pi OS bookworm 64 bit
The way I want my network map to look is as follows:
[wireless device] ----(wireless connection)----[Raspberry Pi]----(wired connection)-----[router]----(wired connection) ------[modem]---(wired connection)---internet
I'm lost with this and I'm obviously missing something or not understanding something so any help would be greatly appreciated
