Toggle between client and router mode on network interface (Linux)
Switch client network interface (NIC), such as eth0 or wlan0, from the default
client mode to router mode. Basically, you can use the selected interface to act as a
router for your other network devices.
Switch network interface (NIC), such as `eth0` or `wlan0`, from default *client mode* to *router mode*. Basically, you can use the selected network interface to act as a router for your other network client devices such as mobile phones/tablets/etc... and switch it back to client mode quickly if needed.
In client mode, the interface acts normally, as it does in your daily usage.
**In the client mode**, the network interface acts normally as it does on your normal client Linux computer. It retrieves a IPv4 from a DHCP server on your local network and acts as client, etc.
In router mode, a DHCP server kicks in and allocates IPv4 addresses for any connected devices which use a DHCP client. This is equivalent to normal stock/home router behavior.
**In the router mode**, a DHCP server on your computer kicks in and allocates IPv4 addresses for any connected client devices (which use a DHCP client, of course). This is similar behavior to normal stock/home router.
