Thank you :D
 
You need an Ethernet switch between the Android mini PC and the other PCs in your LAN. It is not included in the drawing.
 
I don't think it's possible "out-of-the-box" but there might be an app or two in the Play Store that will help. I'll move this topic to the dedicated Google TV sub-forum where it will get attention from other users of similar devices.

In windows 7 this is so easy to do. All that is need is make a netwotk bridge:

Seems to me the easiest way is to have your own internet service then route the modem through a wireless router.

In the case you are presenting, I think you would have to use a PC as the device sharing internet to the other devices. So using your photo, the android device would be a PC and then to a ethernet switch and then to the 2 other PCs and android device.
