Not a direct answer to your question, but ...

I started looking at doing something similar to this a couple of years 
ago (using the Pi as a WiFi access point in a location beyond the range 
of my router's WiFi).  I didn't complete the task for various reasons, 
but one thing that was clear, was that if I were to do it again, I would 
do the initial configuration of the Pi locally (keyboard etc. plugged 
in) rather than across the network (ssh session) as at each step of the 
way, it seemed that the Pi was inaccessible for something like 20-30 
minutes whilst it sorted out what to do with each configuration change 
(of which there were several needed).

Good Luck

Adrian
