Alright first I'm going to explain my current situation. Right now I do not get internet to my house, I live in the boonies. Luckily I live on a hill where sprint gets some killer speeds (50 mbps down)  Now, I currently use PDAnet to give my laptop a network connection, I then turn the hotspot on my laptop on. This provides things like my google home and chrome cast and main computer a network connection to talk to each other, I need a more permanent solution though. Here's what I was thinking, Is there anyway to build a windows router that can run PDAnet and support multiple devices at a time well? Thanks for any help in advance!

 

PS: PDAnet is the app I use on my phone to route the mobile data to the computer without it reporting it as hotspot usage to the carrier. This required a mobile app and an application on a windows computer to work in tandem.

I've done this in the past, just get another wireless network card, and basically make a Ad hoc network that bridges the connections. With the other wireless card you can broadcast another signal that shares the internet connection.

Are there network cards out there for pci that can support like 10 devices? I'm pretty sure there are I'm mainly confirming

It can support how ever many you want, I've used both PCI Wireless Cards and USB. Both work
