Heres the situation. I have a wifi adapter receiving internet and i want to share this internet through LAN and through another wifi adapter at hotspot mode AT THE SAME TIME. The problem is windows only lets me share the internet on one of them.

I've been searching on google for 6 hours and I just gave up really frustrated. Google has let me down giving me totaly irrelevant results on my searches.

You have to remember ICS which is what the sharing on windows uses is a extremely old function that was designed to let people connect multiple machines to a dialup telephone modem. This was well before affordable routers existed. There has been very little enhancement of this function.

This is not generally used on a machine that is not dedicated to the purpose. You do not dare run anything intensive on it like games or even some streaming video or it will greatly degrade any machine using the network though the machines.

This is like using a sports card to deliver bags of concrete to a construction site.

If they are in the same location, it does not make a difference.
For a repeater to cover a wider area, it needs to be 'in the middle', between original source and device.

You are getting things more and more complex. You can likely do this with linux but putting in a VM is going to make it hard especially if the base OS is windows.

Why don't you just buy a repeater, this is what these devices are designed to do. It is not my first choice in networks but when you have no other options a repeater does provide service. Using a PC to act as a repeater is never a good idea. You have to be extremely careful what you run on it to not disrupt the traffic for other users. You in effect have taken a expensive pc and made it into a cheap network device.
