I'm new to hostapd, I'm running it on a Raspberry Pi in order to use
it with a WiFi client that needs special routing (out from the Pi's wired
connection).
I have installed hostapd and followed the configuration provided on the
Pi official web site. It's hostapd v2.9 from the Pi repository.
I can connect to it but it's very slow to connect and, if the signal
isn't too strong it seems to drop the connection rather frequently.
When I make a connection attempt I see the following in syslog on the
Pi:-
Nov 2 15:11:50 raspberrypi hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:28:f8:3d:3b:aa IEEE 802.11: associated

Nov 2 15:13:08 raspberrypi dnsmasq-dhcp[541]: DHCPREQUEST(wlan0) 192.168.13.77 00:28:f8:3d:3b:aa
Nov 2 15:13:08 raspberrypi dnsmasq-dhcp[541]: DHCPACK(wlan0) 192.168.13.77 00:28:f8:3d:3b:aa t470
So it took well over a minute to connect. This is with the Pi and the client about a meter
apart.
My hostapd.conf file is:
country_code=GB
interface=wlan0
ssid=odinpi
hw_mode=g
channel=7
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=XXXXXXXX
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
Surely it should work faster than this shouldn't it? Have I got something misconfigured and/or
have I missed something important?
Thanks.
