Use as a standalone router?

[TurboMan90]

I'm using this as a standalone router that doesn't need access to the internet. It works great, but my phone blocks data since it's trying to route the data through the wifi network, which obviously doesn't have internet access.

Is there a way to update the code to "trick" the devices into thinking there's internet access so it maintains connection to cellular data?

Thanks!

It's very hard and you'd need to open a bunch of web server paths, route all requests from https://gstatic.com/generate_204 to a local server maybe via DNS or a preferred proxy, serve 204 status... And plus, the URL is different for every device. Like, Microsoft devices have https://msftconnecttest.com as their URL, while Apple would have https://captive.apple.com. It's a complex process.
