I have the Clipper Hat running as described in “Getting Started”. But I want to add a Access Point to my Raspberry Pi Zero 2W on Raspbian (bookworm) to share the 4G network with wifi clients. I can create a hotspot via Network Manager (sudo nmcli device wifi hotspot ssid “SSID” password “PASSWORD”. Clients can connect, but they do not get access to the PPP0 Clipper Hat connection. How can I fix that, does anyone know? I have searched for hours and tried many things, but it just doesn’t work.

Once you mix wifi with ppp, you have two networks. You need to setup routing on your Pi and route packets from the wifi-network to the clipper network. You should find many tutorials on this topic, most will be using UMTS sticks in USB-format, but the principle is the same.
