But.. What if you want to bridge the ethernet and wifi interfaces and let your existing router handle DHCP and routing?
Well here's my solution taken from a few sources.
Update stuff.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo reboot now
Set the wifi locale
sudo raspi-config
Install hostapd for the access point
sudo apt-get install hostapd bridge-utils
sudo systemctl stop hostapd
Create a config file for the access point
#sudo nano /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf interface=wlan0 bridge=br0 driver=nl80211 ssid=ras hw_mode=g channel=1 wmm_enabled=0 macaddr_acl=0 auth_algs=1 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 wpa=2 wpa_passphrase=changeme wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP rsn_pairwise=CCMP
Have a test
sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Tell hostapd which config file to user
#sudo nano /etc/default/hostapd DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
Enable the service
sudo systemctl unmask hostapd sudo systemctl enable hostapd sudo systemctl start hostapd
Stop dhcp from allocating eth0 and wlan0 IP addresses
#sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf denyinterfaces eth0 wlan0
Add the bridge between the interfaces and let it have a dhcp address
#sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 wlan0
Add a bridge
sudo brctl addbr br0
Reboot -
sudo reboot
You should have br0 on dhcp now
Extras
Add these lines to the /boot/config.txt to disable the onboard hardware
