Finally I got the solution.
The only point is that I need a reboot to switch from Client to AP.
But this is not really an issue in my case.
However if there could be a solution in the last script I'm openminded
See script : scl2ap.sh
Thanks
Wifi
Activate Wifi in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=FR
network={
ssid="Freebox-CKL-I"
psk="xxxxxxxxx"
}
Kill and restart Wifi
sudo pkill wpa_supplicant
sudo wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -B -Dnl80211,wext
Access point:
The Raspberry Pi needs to have the hostapd access point software package installed:
sudo apt-get install hostapd
To create a new configuration file : /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Change : country, ssid , wpa_passphrase : to match with yours
country_code=FR
interface=wlan0
ssid=LapemNetwork
hw_mode=g
channel=7
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=password
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
Verify that configuration file location in /etc/init.d/hostapd containing is there, if not add.
DAEMON_CONF=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Enable the wireless access point service and set it to start when your Raspberry Pi boots:
sudo systemctl unmask hostapd
sudo systemctl enable hostapd
DHCP Distribution
In order to provide network management services (DNS, DHCP) to wireless clients install dnsmasq
sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
To configure the distribution DHCP IP range we need to configure /etc/dnsmasq.conf
At the bottom of the file we need to add the following lines.
interface=wlan0
dhcp-range=192.168.0.100,192.168.0.200,12h
activate the dnsmasq service at boot:
sudo systemctl enable dnsmasq.service
AP as static
AP needs to have a static address: configured in etc/dhcpcd.conf
Defaut (DHCP)
sudo cp /etc/dhcpcd.conf /etc/dhcpcd-dynamic.conf
Static add at the end of the file
sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
#Static IP
interface wlan0
static ip_address=192.168.0.1/24
nohook wpa_supplicant
sudo cp /etc/dhcpcd.conf /etc/dhcpcd-static.conf
Default mode AP
Command to run to activate AP for next boot
sudo systemctl unmask hostapd
sudo systemctl enable hostapd
sudo systemctl enable dnsmasq.service
sudo cp /etc/dhcpcd-static.conf /etc/dhcpcd.conf
