This thread grows longer and I am still not any wiser how is the whole thing connected and expected to work.
My advice is to try to describe how you connect whole setup, in simple words. Please do not assume that we know what is terminal or host in 19xx context, just avoid assuming that we do/should understand what you mean. Obviously, we do not. What you are installing or configuring on what devices? What are you trying to achieve? Why are you disabling wifi on a hotspot - how do you expect to get data from the hotspot without wifi.
