install dhcp server

install dhcp server package: 

pacman -S dhcp

set permissions to script: 

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sharenetwlan

execute script:

speed test

install iperf3 on server and client: 

pacman -Sy iperf3 --noconfirm

start iperf3 service on server: 

iperf3 -s

on client connect to server using iperf3: 

iperf3 -c 192.168.10.1 -p 5201

you should see somehing like this:
