### WiFi 2.4ghz Access Point
This setup will configure the Lollipop's internal WiFi adapter as an access point. NetworkManager assumes you'll have only *one* Access Point active per device at a time. If you'd prefer your wireless access point use 5ghz, skip this step.
This setup will configure the Lollipop's internal WiFi adapter as an access point. NetworkManager assumes you'll have only *one* Access Point active per device at a time. If you'd prefer your wireless access point use 5ghz AND your hardware is capable of 5ghz, skip this step. *Example: the OrangePi PC Plus must be configured as a 2.4ghz access point, unless you are configuring an upgraded or external adapter capable of 5ghz.*
2.4ghz is a good choice and a default for most commerical access points for compatibility with WiFi clients. This is recommended if you're not sure.

# Getting Started
You will need a single-board computer (SBC) like an [Orange Pi (link)](http://www.orangepi.org/).
For the basic start up and set up of your Orange Pi, you will need either (a) a keyboard and a way to view the display (either an HDMI cable OR a [serial console](https://www.pine64.org/?product=padi-serial-console)), OR (b) an ethernet connection.
For the basic start up and set up of your Orange Pi, you will need one of the following configurations:
- a keyboard and a way to view the display (either an HDMI cable with a monitor OR a [serial console](https://www.pine64.org/?product=padi-serial-console))
- an ethernet connection by connecting your SBC to your home router with an ethernet cord (or "patch cable")
You will also need an SD card formatted with Armbian installed.
## Installing Armbian onto an SD card
## Installing Armbian on an SD card
[Armbian](https://www.armbian.com/) is a Linux operating system based on Debian and Ubuntu, specifically designed for [ARM boards (link)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture).
__NOTE:__ Raspberry Pi 3 users will need to use [Raspbian (link)](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/) instead of Armbian.
