Install the necessary firmware

apk add linux-firmware-brcm raspberrypi-libs


Install hostapd and dnsmasq

apk add hostapd dnsmasq

Configure /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=Pi3-AP
hw_mode=g
channel=1
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_passphrase=raspberry
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_pairwise=CCMP

Configure your /etc/dnsmasq.conf

interface=wlan0
dhcp-range=10.0.0.2,10.0.0.5,255.255.255.0,12h

Configure Static ips for wlan0 in the file /etc/network/interfaces
