Solved

Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible to connect my laptop which has Wi-Fi to my desktop computer that only has Ethernet, so that it can also benefit from the Wi-Fi.
To summarize, I want to connect my laptop to my box via Wi-Fi (which is done) and connect my desktop to the laptop via a cable (Ethernet?).
Thank you for your responses!

    Hello,

    Yes, it's possible. You need to share your Wi-Fi connection on your laptop: Set up an Internet connection sharing using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

    There you go!

      Note: if you connect your laptop directly to your desktop, use a crossover Ethernet cable if you are not using a switch/hub!

      Thank you very much!
      But since I don't have a crossover ethernet cable and I prefer not to buy one, I will move my tower next to my router (yes, I was a bit lazy ><) so I can do some updates and then I'll buy a wifi card! (I'm building my computer and it's not quite complete yet)

      I would like to know if I can use my S4 as a router and only as a router, not as a mobile Wi-Fi modem router. I want to use the home internet but make it more extensive.
