Currently my device on LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) with root access and supported managed mode and AP mode at the same time.

root@localhost:~# uname -a
Linux localhost 4.9.326-Mi8937 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Sep 12 02:37:27 UTC 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux

root@localhost:~# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_CFG80211

       configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wcnss_wlan multicast=yes wireless=Qcom:802.11n


root@localhost:~# iw phy | grep -iA2 'valid interface combinations'
        valid interface combinations:
                 * #{ managed } <= 3, #{ IBSS, AP } <= 1, #{ P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 1,
                   total <= 3, #channels <= 2

I did search over internet and found this WI-FI REPEATER MODE ON ANDROID by Irfan Latif and this android_wifi_repeater by mrbox24 but seems those script doesn't support android 11 because when I check /system/bin and /system/xbin, no hostapd there.

My goal is to be able to run my device into repeater mode using wifi-direct that can be run with shell script command and no need to set Client Wifi proxy port.

Thanks.

Edit (Sept 28, 2022)
Referring to this, I found that hostapd exist under /vendor/bin/hw path. Thanks Irfan.

And now I got another problem, I can run the mnet script, Client able to connect to the Host but without Internet Connection.

Tried ping 192.168.49.1 from Client to Host device got 100% loss, but works when ping from Host device to Client device.

  • "when I check /system/bin and /system/xbin, no hostapd there". See this comment. – Irfan Latif Sep 27 '22 at 10:06
  • @IrfanLatif, you're right. I found that under /vendor/bin/hw path. – Zievfik Sep 27 '22 at 22:34
  • @IrfanLatif, Now I got another problem, the script run and I can connected client device to the host device but without internet access. From client device, ping 192.168.49.1 (host IP) it doesn't work / ping 100% loss. But when ping from host to client device, it works. How to fix that problem? Thanks. – Zievfik Sep 27 '22 at 22:59
