you desire a router. fairly, you connect your internet from the wall on your router. The router could have everywhere from 4 to eight and much extra ports. Use one CAT5 to the workstation and one CAT5 to the laptop. you're "routing" the internet to extra advantageous than one pc.

1. you must have a valid wireless signal on your labtop

2. then enable ics on your labtop
