    after downloadmoreram.com was such a success, i guess something like wifi-hotspot as a service should exist somewhere too

    hm, without adding “new” hardware you say?

    • add an old wifi stick
    • add an old raspberry pi 1
    • stick the stick into the berry
    • add hostapd package to berry
    • add old ethernet calble and connect berry with the switch in the picture
    • configure hostapd to mimic a wifi hotspot (thus its not “added”, just mimic’ed)
    • configure routing, nat, dns and dhcp server (wlan side) on berry
    • configure dhcp client on berry for lan side
    • use an old cable tie to tie things together so it becomes “one piece”
    • connect the switch with another old ethernet cable to your neighbours internet router

    tadaaa !!! turned into wifi hotspot without added hardware beeing “new”
