   Desktop PC to Android Mobile Hotspot - What do you use for the Gateway?   
   1. My Windows 10 desktop has no Wi-Fi card.   
   2. So I Ethernet out to an old router acting as a wireless client bridge.   
   3. This has been working for many years.   
      
   For whatever reason, the Internet went out.   
   So I set up the phone as a Mobile Hotspot which works for the laptop.   
   But I wanted the desktop to be connected also.   
   1. So I figured I'd set up the bridge, temporarily to the Mobile Hotspot.   
   2. The Mobile Hotspot has an SSID with the same passphrase as all my APs.   
   3. The Mobile Hotspot, by default, is set to 10 clients.   
      
   So I saved the old router configuration to the AP.   
   And I changed the SSID for the wireless client bridge to connect to.   
   Since the passphrase is the same, only the SSID needed to be changed.   
      
   Or so I had thought.   
   Booted many times but the router (as a wireless client bridge) won't   
   connect to the mobile phone (set up as a mobile hotspot).   
      
   Why not?   
   The only difference between the old setup & the new is the SSID.   
      
   There's also a question in the DD-WRT wireless client bridge setup of:   
   Local IP Address = 192.168.1.whatever/24   
   Gateway = 192.168.1.1   
   Local DNS = 192.168.1.1   
      
   I thought "maybe the DNS needs to be changed" so I changed that to   
   8.8.8.8 but what would I set the "Gateway" to when it's whatever the   
   carrier's gateway would be for the cellular data connection?
