I tried configuring my Debian testing desktop to be a WAP, but I'm having an issue. On my laptop, I can see that WAP listed as an available WiFi network to connect to, but when I try to connect and type the password, the connection tries to load for a bit and then fails.
Here's my /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Hotspot

I have thought about that, but ideally I'd like the WAP to forward it to the router and let it assign the addresses.
I don't know where in nm-settings file the dhcp server is assigned. I guess maybe if the AP is on the same net as the router, then connections will find it? Have you tries a static address for the AP?
maybe if you post the info from 'ip a' or some other ip commands on the machine running the ap then someone can help with the routing.
