How can I use my Windows 7 computer to share WiFi connection with PCs that don't have wireless?
- by Tom Auger
Long story short: modem and wireless router are downstairs and we're having a LAN party where some visitors don't have wireless. There's no way to run the length of cabling required, so looking for options. My Windows 7 Home Premium PC has a wireless-n connection, and I'd like to see if I can use it as a "hub" or switch of sorts, running an ethernet cable out of the back and into a switch, then splitting off to the other PCs.
Is this an option? I know with Internet sharing, you can set up your PC as a wireless access point, but I want to do the opposite.
