Help: Can one computer share internet through wireless router? More Details

by haseebws94 . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

Hey everyone my first post!

Question Situation:
I have two laptops one desktop and one phone internet device. I also have a special phone set from STC (Saudi Telecommunications Center) which is wireless and satellite. When I got the phone I got a cable and a cd. I discovered that internet is possible through the phone and the speed that is provided is 1 mbps.

Problem:
The satellite phone connects to my Laptop (lets say laptop A) via usb and work fine. But I have another laptop (laptop B) which has wireless capabilities and I know i can share internet between the two laptops. But I have a computer and a device which work through ethernet cables.
How can I be able to share the internet from Laptop A to the ethernet devices (desktop and phone device) and the other laptop.

My Solution: (Not sure if it will work that’s why I came here!)
I am thinking I can solve this through a wireless router? I can buy a wireless router which has Ethernet ports and wireless capabilities and then give internet to other devices.

But I am not sure that if I am able to somehow transfer the internet from laptop A to the router so that the devices (laptops and desktop and phone device) can use the internet from Laptop A.

This is what I am trying to do: (MAP)

Satellite Phone gives internet to laptop A

Laptop A sends the internet to the router

Router gets internet from latop A

Desktop and laptop and phone device use internet by connecting to the router

Any Help?

Regards,
Haseeb Sheikh
