I needed a simple application which required me to access an RPI via wifi in an area where there is no network.
Since I had a Model B lying about I installed a minimal headless Raspbian based on Bulleye. Installation went without a hitch with the Network set up at 168.192.11.1.
Searching for the transmission on the Wifi Analyzer app on my phone indicated no signal was being transmitted on the chosen channel ( 7). Checking the hostapd service did not indicate any error.
I then added the network with the proper SSID from my mobile phone and transmission started normally and I was able to connect without issues. The Wifi Analyzer app also reported a healthy transmission.
This situation gets repeated each time I have to power up the RPI.
It seems to me that the transmission from the RPI only wakes up following an external request.
Is there anything I can do which forces the RPI to transmit a wifi signal all the time without needing to be prodded from outside?
Regards
