  • Internet sharing methods: NATed or Bridged or None (no Internet sharing).
  • Choose the AP Gateway IP (only for 'NATed' and 'None' Internet sharing methods).
  • You can create an AP with the same interface you are getting your Internet connection.
  • You can pass your SSID and password through pipe or through arguments (see examples).
