Freely set up independent, securewireless connection interfaceyou can also assign individual NICs to theContainer or use different QNAP services asrequired through integration with QNAP Network& Virtual Switch, and enjoy a separate wirelessconnection interface.For example: If you need to set up a private IOTenvironment, you can set it up to not pass through anyother devices, so that your IoT network becomes a highlysecure and reliable independent network.

3 step to build a Wireless APwith Ubuntu PCInstall Ubuntu17.10Install QWAAC2600Install and setupAP suite：HostapdClient: wpa supplicant
Install AP Suite AP suite：Hostapd command：sudo apt-get install hostapd Ubuntu default setting will lock the network management function,need to unlock by instruction. sudo nmcli radio wifi off sudo rfkill unblock all If need to change network interface card name(or use default name)sudo ip link set wlp4s0 name wifiap0sudo ip link set wlp5s0 name wifiap1
Set up Hostapd #11. Create /etc/hostapd/hostapd 5G.conf Profile2. interface set up to wifiap0# AP netdevice name (without 'ap' postfix, i.e., wlan0 uses wlan0ap for# management frames); ath0 for madwifiinterface wifiap0
Set up Hostapd #23. Set up driver# Driver interface type (hostap/wired/madwifi/test/none/nl80211/bsd);# default: hostap). nl80211 is used with all Linux mac80211 drivers.# Use driver none if building hostapd as a standalone RADIUS serverthat does# not control any wireless/wired driver.driver nl80211
Set up Hostapd #34. Set up SSID for Wireless network：# SSID to be used in IEEE 802.11 management framesssid QNAP-AP5. Set up Wireless network operation mode:# Operation mode a(5G)# Default: IEEE 802.11bhw mode a
Set up Hostapd #46. WPA Setting：# Enable WPA. Setting this variable configures the AP to require WPA# bit0 WPA# bit1 IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) (dot11RSNAEnabled)wpa 2
