The solution isn’t really complex, but it was annoying, so I figured it worth documenting. This caused problems because I needed to configure networking, but could not SSH to the Pi via the WiFi connection as I’d be changing the networking configuration and be booted out before finishing the configuration changes.Įverything could have been done on the command line with a connected keyboard/monitor, but connecting to a network using the LuCi web interface is much easier, hence the somewhat convoluted steps to allow for this. Simple enough to implement with OpenWRT, but I only had a Pi Zero W on hand and it has no ethernet port and OpenWRT doesn’t automatically detect my USB ethernet adapter. The aim here is to supply internet to the Pi via WiFi and have it supply internet to connected ethernet devices. Raspberry pi 4B (What I used for this, but any rpi with a wifi and ethernet connection will do) Ethernet cable A WiFI connection Step 1. ![]() You can now put your Wi-Fi bridge to the test Attach any Ethernet-only device to your Raspberry Pi via an Ethernet cable. However, it did not automatically configure the USB ethernet adapter I was using. The final step is starting the dnsmasq service: sudo service dnsmasq start. I needed a quick and dirty Wifi bridge and the Pi Zero W seemed perfect.
