Configure Wi-Fi Hotspot:
To configure the Wi-Fi as a hotspot (Access Point), kindly refer to software user guide.
For setting a custom SSID (network name) and password, please follow the steps below:
1. Open the configuration file:
```
/etc/hostapd.conf
```
2. Update the parameters as follows:
Replace:
```
ssid=test
```
With:
```
ssid=<your_ssid>
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_passphrase=<your_password>
```
Replace `<your_ssid>` with your desired network name and `<your_password>` with a valid password (minimum 8 characters).
Enhance Wi-Fi Signal Strength:
If the signal range is low, it is expected when no antenna is connected to the module. To improve the range, it is recommended to use a proper antenna. Using an external antenna can significantly enhance the connectivity. iWave suggests using an antenna with part number 2042811150 (204281), which can typically provide a range of approximately 10 to 30 meters.
Please connect the antenna to the ANT1 port on the SOM for proper operation.
Kindly note that the actual range may vary depending on environmental factors such as obstacles, interference, and placement.
Please integrate the antenna and verify the performance.
