Ethernet 802.1x client -> WiFi AP on a Raspberry Pi?
- by Martin Janiczek
I have an Ethernet connection that requires 802.1x authentication (TTLS, MSCHAPv2, name+password).
My goal is to connect that to something that would then act as an WiFi AP, so I can use the connection on more devices (iPhone, notebook, etc.)
Would it be possible/good idea to use Raspberry Pi for this purpose? Or are there better-suited devices to do this?
EDIT: found some alternatives but because of low rep can't post more than two links...
OpenWRT + wpa_supplicant guide
Carambola - works with OpenWRT (but probably not standalone?)
Hornet-UB - works with OpenWRT

EDIT 2: probably going to try TP-LINK TL-WR740N. It's a classic router, but can be flashed with OpenWRT, and the price beats everything else I've seen.
