→create_ap method to create WIFI hotspot in NAT mode
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li><p>Enter the following command to create a WIFI hotspot with the name '''orangepi''' and password '''orangepi''' in NAT mode</p>

<p>wlan0: EAPOL-4WAY-HS-COMPLETED ce:bd:9a:dd:a5:86</p>|}</li>
<li><p>At this time, take out your mobile phone and find the WIFI hotspot named '''orangepi''' created by the development board in the searched WIFI list. Then you can click '''orangepi''' to connect to the hotspot. The password is '''orangepi''' set above.</p>

</div></li>
<li><p>In NAT mode, the wireless device connected to the development board's hotspot requests an IP address from the development board's DHCP service, so there will be two different network segments. For example, the development board's IP here is 192.168.1.X</p>

<p>The DHCP service of the development board will assign the IP address of '''192.168.12.0/24''' to the device connected to the hotspot by default. At this time, click on the connected WIFI hotspot '''orangepi''', and then you can see that the IP address of the mobile phone is '''192.168.12.X'''.</p>
<div class="figure">
</div></li>
<li><p>If you want to specify a different network segment for the connected device, you can specify it through the -g parameter. For example, use the -g parameter to specify the network segment of the access point AP as 192.168.2.1.</p>{| class="wikitable" style="background-color:#ffffdc;width:800px;" |-| </li></olbig> '''Note that in the following command, Debian12 needs to modify eth0 to end0.'''</big>|}{| class="wikitable" style="width:800px;" |-|
orangepi@orangepi:~$ '''sudo create_ap -m nat wlan0 eth0 orangepi orangepi -g 192.168.2.1 --no-virt'''

At this time, after connecting to the hotspot through the mobile phone, click on the connected WIFI hotspot '''orangepi''', and then you can see that the IP address of the mobile phone is '''192.168.2.X'''

<ol start="7" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li><p>Without specifying the '''--freq-band''' parameter, the hotspot created by default is in the 2.4G frequency band. If you want to create a hotspot in the 5G frequency band, you can specify it through the '''--freq-band 5''' parameter. The specific command is as follows</p>
{| class="wikitable" style="background-color:#ffffdc;width:800px;" |-| <big><p>'''Note that in the following command, Debian12 needs to modify eth0 to end0'''</p></li></olbig>|}{| class="wikitable" style="width:800px;" |-|
orangepi@orangepi:~$ '''sudo create_ap -m nat wlan0 eth0 orangepi orangepi --freq-band 5 --no-virt'''

</li></ol>
<ol start="8" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li><p>If you need to hide the SSID, you can specify the '''--hidden''' parameter. The specific command is as follows</p>
{| class="wikitable" style="background-color:#ffffdc;width:800px;" |-| <big><p>'''Note that in the following command, Debian12 needs to modify eth0 to end0.'''</p></li></olbig>|}{| class="wikitable" style="width:800px;" |-|
orangepi@orangepi:~$ '''sudo create_ap -m nat wlan0 eth0 orangepi orangepi --hidden --no-virt'''
|}
At this time, the mobile phone cannot search for WIFI hotspots. You need to manually specify the WIFI hotspot name and enter the password to connect to the WIFI hotspot.
