| This HOWTO shows you how to replace the WiFi element of your home network setup with a Raspberry Pi running Slackware. Other HOWTOs explain how to setup DHCP and so on for your wireless devices, but this tries to keep things really simple and just give you an ethernet->Wifi bridge. This is very close to the config I ended up with when I configured a TP-LINK ADSL router to do the same thing, only this way I get to patch stuff a lot more easily. | This HOWTO shows you how to replace the WiFi element of your home network setup with a Raspberry Pi running Slackware.

| + | Although I've originally written this HOWTO for a RPi 3, I've since tried it on an RPi2 and it works just as well. Interface wlan1 will obviously change to wlan0 because the Pi2 has no on-board WiFi however. | ||

| No home WiFi network setup is complete without a QR code that you can wave at all your mates when they are round your house wanting to connect. You can create one of these from your WiFi settings using the **qrencode** program, available from [[https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/graphics/qrencode/|Slackbuilds]], or alternatively, get the build from [[http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/qrencode/build/|Alien Bob]] for a slightly later version. | No home WiFi network setup is complete without a QR code that you can wave at all your mates when they are round your house wanting to connect.
