Frank ...
Your Access Point solution has now been well tested by several users and it works.
You should be feeling confident.
Would it be a good idea to make this some kind of sticky thread so it always remains at or near the top of the forum listings?
Thx

Hi Frank and John Banks

I have my Ralink Rt5370 dongle now

It shows up with iw list and indicates it does AP

What is the name of the driver I need to put in the hostapd.conf file?

I have tried rt2800usb and rt2x00usb but these come up with an error - invalid / unknown driver

I don't know which hostapd.conf file version you are using but if it contains the following lines ....

# Comment out following line if using a WIFI adapter with RT5370 chipset
ht_capab=[HT40][SHORT-GI-20][DSSS_CCK-40]

Then you should comment out (with a #) the line ... ht_capab=[HT40][SHORT-GI-20][DSSS_CCK-40]

Hope this helps
