Recommend a wifi dongle for access point setup

[Wrechid]

hey mk01...

i've gotten much further now... i had to change the channel to 6 in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf due to authentication errors... i have 2 other devices here that was causing interference... the other problem i'm have is i can't start the "ISC DHCP server"... i get this error,
[FAIL] Starting ISC DHCP server: dhcpd[....] check syslog for diagnostics. ... failed! failed!
even after a reboot... i checked the /var/log/syslog and theres nothing in there except logs from Sept 6... is there another syslog file...?
its not to important since i can set phone to static and it does work... but i like a challenge...
seeing the changes you made in the interface file does make a lot of sense... also the beta 1.1 is the one i have and it does have NAT support in the kernel...

i had the right syslog file, just needed to refresh WinSCP... :/
this is the error

i think it goes back to the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file...
this is what i have in mt dhcpd.conf file,
