I have read this thread:rpi-zero-w-as-both-wifi-client-and-access-point

And I have followed the instructions in this post:raspberry-pi-3-wifi-station-ap

Initially, I was getting errors on the AP but I read in another post I read that I needed to set the hostapd path in the /etc/init.d/hostapd in addition to setting it in /etc/default. When I did that the errors went away. This step was not in the posts mentioned above.

Have the issues to get this working on the Pi Zero W been resolved? I have followed the instructions explicitly (with my addition above) and everything looks good.

The problem that I am having is that the SSID is not being broadcast.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would love to respond to the other post you mentioned (RPI zero W as both Wifi client and access point), but it currently requires 10 reputation, and I don't have it. Nonetheless, I also read that post and failed to get everything working, but eventually determined a solution that works.

I wrote a blog post about it here: https://blog.thewalr.us/2017/09/26/raspberry-pi-zero-w-simultaneous-ap-and-managed-mode-wifi/

Hope that helps, as it's working great for me!
