Not able to install on Raspberry Pi OS (Rev Jan 2021)

[Ridley-nelson17]

I'm using Raspbian Buster Lite (v2021), I've been looking all over the web for a solution like this...I used this a while back and it worked like a charm, but now with the new OS, it doesn't work, or more accuratly I can't install it. hostapd throws an exception that it's masked, so I unmasked it, but when I ran it again, it just didn't do anything.

You need to change the wifi localization of the raspi-config to your country. In addition, the password you set in the hostapd_conf file needs to be complex and long, else it won't work

@Holychris56 hey do you have an example of how you fixed this issue?
