== Instructions ==
The instructions for setting up a Wi-Fi Hotspot have been written by those who know a lot more about this at <googa>http://elinux.org/RPI-Wireless-Hotspot|http://elinux.org/RPI-Wireless-Hotspot</googa>.
There are a couple of points to make before you work through the instructions though:
== Skipping IP Forwarding ==
If you are running Box Of Stops truly standalone, with no other router to connect to the internet, then it may be best to skip a couple of the instructions at <googa>http://elinux.org/RPI-Wireless-Hotspot|http://elinux.org/RPI-Wireless-Hotspot</googa>. This avoids the connecting device (e.g. a touchscreen tablet) expecting to see an onward connection to the internet, and marking the Wi-Fi connection as incomplete.
The changes to the instructions are:
* When editing '''/etc/udhcpd.conf''' in Step 2, comment out the '''opt dns''' and '''opt router''' lines
* Omit all of Step 4, about setting up NAT and IP forwarding
