title: Use your Raspberry Pi as WiFi router
---
Using [this guide](http://www.daveconroy.com/turn-your-raspberry-pi-into-a-wifi-hotspot-with-edimax-nano-usb-ew-7811un-rtl8188cus-chipset/) I successfully turned my Raspberry Pi with an Edimax WiFi dongle into a WiFi hotspot.

Here's how:
- setup customized hostapd
- setup dhcp server
- configure NAT
My network layout looked like this:
``` c
internet - router - Pi - tablet
|
|---- PC
```
Now the tablet is able to connect to the PC, but not the other way round.
To fix this, add a route to the PC's IP configuration:
``` bash
ip route add -net $PI_NETWORK netmask 255.255.255.0 gw $PI_IP
```
Replace `$PI_NETWORK` and `$PI_IP` with your own values.
