Hi Foxy,
Wifi sharing and bridging is designed for virtual machines i.e, the host is on the internet and the v-system shares that internet by bowering the wifi | ip address… it sounds like you have two physical machines and only one router port?

- What are the two system (make and model please) and what router is being used to connect to the internet?
- Are there any unusual restrictions on this network such as a school proxy server or mum would like it to stop working at bed time?
