   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
