→create_ap method to create WIFI hotspot in bridge 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 bridge mode</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 bridge wlan0 eth0 orangepi orangepi --no-virt'''
|}
</li></ol>
<ol start="2" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li><p>If the following information is output, it means that the WIFI hotspot is successfully created.</p>

<p>orangepi@orangepi:~$ '''sudo create_ap -m bridge wlan0 eth0 orangepi orangepi --no-virt'''</p>
<p>Config dir: /tmp/create_ap.wlan0.conf.zAcFlYTx</p>
<p>wlan0: STA ce:bd:9a:dd:a5:86 RADIUS: starting accounting session 937BF40E51897A7B</p>
<p>wlan0: STA ce:bd:9a:dd:a5:86 WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN)</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 bridge mode, the wireless device connected to the hotspot of the development board also requests an IP address from the DHCP service of the main router (the router to which the development board is connected). For example, the IP of the development board here is '''192.168.1.X'''</p>

<p>The IP of the device connected to the WIFI hotspot is also assigned by the main router, so the mobile phone connected to the WIFI hotspot and the development board are in the same network segment. At this time, click on the connected WIFI hotspot '''orangepi''', and then you can see the IP address of the mobile phone. Also '''192.168.1.X'''.</p>

<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''' parameter. The specific command is as follows</p>

orangepi@orangepi:~$ '''sudo create_ap -m bridge wlan0 eth0 orangepi orangepi --freq-band 5 --no-virt'''

</li></ol>
<ol start="7" 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 bridge 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.
