Hello,
Sorry if this has been answered before, I've tried looking around quite a bit but have only got more confused. I'm trying to set up a piratebox using my raspberry pi, I accidently bought a open-wrt compatible device (the TP-link tl-mr3040 v 2.3) instead of the right wifi dongle though. Is it possible to run the piratebox through a hardwired connection? Forgive me if the answer is really obvious, this is all very new to me.
I've been wanting to make a LAN wireless hotspot (I got an old router that I changed to get power from usb so i could make it portable with a battery pack) so people could connect and share files etc but most solutions with that require a few different applications on the pi and the devices trying to connect. The piratebox seems to do everything I want, pretty effortlessly it looks like once it's set up so If anything I'll just end up changing the TP-LINK into the pirate box and or forking over some extra cash for the right raspberry pi dongle. I was just wanting to make sure there wasn't any workarounds first to save myself some time and money.
Thank you very much for your time, I appreciate it.
