@ireneista @howtophil @Luther @antijingoist @mos_8502 @lmorchard @vkc There's a bigger problem: Consumer Wi-Fi chipsets are not designed for that kind of thing. Not all of them support ad-hoc mode, AP mode, or 802.11s. They tend to lock up or reset after varying periods of time.

Broadcom is Broadcom.

The ideal hardware would be a wireless router with the memory of a raspi.

I think a raspi can be configured to be a hotspot with multiple USB wifi sticks too...
