Solution COLGeek Dec 10, 2013 Connect the Access Point to the ethernet port. Set up Internet Connection Sharing using the ethernet port as the shared network. Piece of cake.

It may be possible to set up Internet Connection Sharing on your PC to allow you to use the Access Point to "extend" the PC's network connection. Upvote 0 Downvote
