Can I turn an old PC into a WiFi hotspot when it isn’t wifi enabled?
LockedHi,
I work in a really backwards part of the UK with no phone signal and my office has no Wifi. We also do not have an IT department.
However all of the PCs are wired through the ethernet ports. I was wondering if I can somehow setup the WiFi myself without spending more than a few £ (free, preferably) and without messing up our IT system / making any sort of noticeable changes.
I don’t want to buy a full on wifi router. Can i turn my PC into a wifi hotspot with an adapter? My pc is old and doesn’t have a wifi thing built into it. I’ve tried online guides on how to turn a PC into a hotspot but I don’t have the options in my network centre.
Or is there a way to plug my phone into my PC and for the internet to go from my PC to my phone? the opposite to tethering i think?
Windows 10 i’m on.
Thanks.
