 The file receiver is a simple sink that stores the received data as a file (random generated name) in a designated folder. Note that the router GUID of the receiver should be the GUID used as destination parameter when starting the sender.
+
+== 6. Setting up WiFi Access on Router ==
+
+The following instructions assume a Debian derivative Linux distro.
+{{{
+# Install required packages
+# -------------------------
+
+sudo apt-get -qq -y install hostapd dnsmasq
+
+
+# Bring up driver for the local wifi adaptor
+# ------------------------------------------
+
+# If the wifi interface is not up already, you can use tools such as 'lspci' 
+# or 'lsusb' to find which wifi adaptor is installed and load the appropriate
+# driver. E.g., for all Atheros IEEE 802.11n PCI/PCI-Express and AHB WLAN based 
+# chipsets use the 'ath9k' driver.
+sudo modprobe ath9k
+
+# To determine which interface came up from above driver action, check using
+sudo ifconfig -a 
+
+# Note: if your node uses NetworkManager to manage an active Internet connection 
+# (e.g., if you are using a laptop to run as an access router), you may have to 
+# disable this daemon first and activate the device if blocked:
+sudo nmcli nm wifi off
+sudo rfkill unblock wlan
+
+
+# Configure interface 
+# -------------------
+
+# bring up WiFi interface with IP and netmask. This will be the AP's IP.
+sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
+
+
+# Set up DHCP (optional)
+# ----------------------
+
+# Edit DHCP configuration in /etc/dnsmasq.conf to alter interface, IP range,
+# and to add any particular MAC-IP assignment bindings to be enforced
+# See sample configuration in section below.
+sudo vi /etc/dnsmasq.conf
+
+# restart DHCP service:
+sudo service dnsmasq restart
+
+
+# Configure and Bringup hostapd
+# -----------------------------
+
+# Create/edit a hostapd.conf (sample shown below) to configure interface, essid, 
+# channel, passphrase etc., for the AP. Using '/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf' as
+# the location makes it convenient for automation
+sudo vi /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
+
+# To automate initialization, edit '/etc/default/hostapd' to uncomment and set 
+# DAEMON_CONF to the absolute path of your hostapd configuration file. This also 
+# enables hostapd to be started at boot.
+sudo vi /etc/default/hostapd
+
+#DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
+
+# To start, stop, restart hostapd:
+sudo /etc/init.d/hostapd {start|stop|restart}
+
+# or use 'service' tool
+sudo service hostapd {start|stop|restart}
+
+# Here's the manual way to bring up hostapd if needed (-B sets background mode):
+sudo hostapd -BtKd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

+=== Sample hostapd Configuration ===
+{{{
+interface=wlan0
+driver=nl80211
+ssid=mfaccess-test
+# hw_mode: always a subset of a, b, g
+hw_mode=g
+channel=11
+macaddr_acl=0
+auth_algs=1
+ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
+# wpa=3 enables wpa & wpa2
+wpa=3
+wpa_passphrase=mfaccess-test
+wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
+wpa_pairwise=TKIP
+rsn_pairwise=CCMP
+}}}
+
+Refer to the [http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/hostapd hostapd documentation] for further details.
+=== Sample Dnsmasq Configuration ===
+{{{
+interface=wlan0
+# dhcp-range=<startIP>, <endIP>,<lease time>
+dhcp-range=192.168.1.128,192.168.1.254,24h
+dhcp-host=aa:22:bb:44:cc:66,192.168.1.128
+}}}
+=== Bringing up Access Router ===
+Now that the wireless interface is setup for clients to connect and authenticate, bring up MobilityFirst access router as show in router configurations page
