Hii there,
I am running FruityWifi with hostapd-karma. However, the time it takes for my laptop (and phone too) to connect to the AP is very high (often it just times out and connects to another already known network). I'm running it on my RaspberryPi.
How can I speed up the connection? the wifi card is compatible with hostapd (TP-Link TL-WN722N) It's the connection to the AP that is slow, not the internet connection

Hi finlaydag33k, The hardware of the device is going to affect the performance. For old RPi requires more work (processing) rather than the RPi3, and for a RPi3 more work than a better hardware ( for example a laptop )
FruityWiFi is a wrapper for many software, in case of the AP module basically uses Hostapd and DNSmasq. Changing the config for Hostapd (Mana, Karma, or standard Hostapd [tab AP on AP module]) can give you some improvements on speed, but it will depends on the wifi card capabilities and options.
Some devices will complain when they try to connect to the Access Point if they can't get internet connectivity ( or at least hit a captive portal )
regards,

Okay, so then my thoughts about the raspberry pi (model 2 B) being to slow might be correct.

Yes, de RPi3 got a very good improvement and FruityWiFi will run better, with more modules enabled at the same time.
On previous RPi versions FruityWiFi runs fine, but you need to be more selective with the modules that you are enabling at the same time.
