This guide shows how to set up a Raspberry Pi as a WiFi access point that bridges to your ethernet LAN, allowing WiFi clients to access the entire local network on the same subnet.
- Raspberry Pi with Raspberry Pi OS Lite (fresh install)
- External USB WiFi adapter (e.g., Ralink RT5572)
- Ethernet connection to your LAN
- Separate DHCP server on your network (e.g., MikroTik router at 192.168.1.2)
