I have simple beginner question. When I create ad-hoc wifi network with shared ethernet connection to router, does router register only ad-hoc host MAC adress or all MACs of devices connected to router ad-hoc network? I assume only MAC of ad-hoc host, but I'm not sure.Eg. I connect from laptop1 to laptop2 trough ad-hoc wifi, then connect to to router through laptop2 shared ethernet connection, does router register MAC of laptop1 or laptop2?Thanks ahead for answering.
MAC adress through ad hoc wifi

It depends. If laptop1 is doing it as a bridge, it will appear to the router as if there is a switch with two computers. The router will have laptop2's MAC address.Laptop1 might do it using NAT. That way, the router won't know about laptop2; laptop1 will take care of everything.
