I am connected via ethernet to a router which gives me an IP via dhcp. I want to share that dhcp of the real router via wifi of my laptop to devices around. My plan is to bridge ethernet and wifi, get an ip for this bridge using windows' dhcp client (works so far) and then "forward" the dhcp server's access via the bridged wifi interface to what ever devices that are able to connect successfully to the machine's hotspot.
Problem is - the dhcp server of the hotspot preventing the original router's dhcp access I hoped to share using this bridge.
So my plan is to disable windows hotspot's dhcp server, thus allowing the router's dhcp server to be accessed by hotspot-wifi-connected devices.
Couldn't find how to do that, is there a simple way to accomplish that?
Edit (some additional information) : The ip range I am getting from the real router is 10.0.0.x, the ip range of windows' hotspot I am sharing is 192.168.137.x. By successfully disabling windows hotspot's built in dhcp server, I hope that the 10.0.0.x dynamic allocation range will be accessible via wifi due to the bridge. I know I could probably edit the ip on my wifi devices statically to 10.0.0.x but I'm not interested in doing static work at all, I want this to work dynamically.
Edit 2 (more additional information, this works in reverse) : I was easily able to achieve to reverse of what I'm trying to accomplish; If I create a hotspot in my android device, connect windows wifi to it, bridge wifi to ethernet and connect ethernet to a switch, then all devices connected to that switch are receiving access to android hotspot's dhcp server and get an ip allocated and internet access via that hotspot, so I know this WORKS in THAT direction, all I'm trying to accomplish is the reverse of this working direction
Edit 3 :
The reverse (hotspot<-->wifi[dev0]--bridge--ethernet[dev0]-->switch--ethernet[dev1]
) only works if this bridge combo exists in only one machine of the network,
meaning that if by accident I have 2 machines with the wifi-ethernet bridge combo, then they cancel each other out and neither work.
