Exactly as pirateghost has said. Part of the problem is that you are using a wifi hotspot for your internet access. It probably does not understand that multiple things are happening down the line.
If you want to continue using it you will need ONE device that can act as a bridge from the mifi and get an IP address as well act as a DHCP server. Everything else will need to be switches and access points and should be on a subnet that is not the same as the mifi. You will still be double nat'ed but when you turn the mifi off everything will still get an ip address from the bridge. At that point you will no longer use the mifi connection directly. It's there broadcasting but you MUST ignore it.
Right now you have multiple devices handing out IP addresses to things they are connected to and that is the problem.
