So this is a limitation in the Wifi Direct, I'll look into posting our writeup for the project. You need a bridge device that can support multiple devices, so it ends up looking like two of the compatible devices forming a mesh and then the other incompatible devices using those as routers. We have a laptop app that can act as the compatible device.
