<p dir="ltr">Yes. Ideally. It's essentially a project to turn a raspberry pi in to a portable access point. So using the RPi with a dongle and one of those portable charging batteries with a USB port on it. I'd prefer not to have to hack the battery or cables so that the project can be more easily replicated.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So if anyone has any experience with a dongle that has worked in Ad-Hoc mode before that would be the acid test.</p>
