Plug your computer into the Ethernet port on your laptop go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections and then right click on the wireless network and hit properties. Then click on the share tab and select "allow another network user to connect through this computer." then select the local area connection. on the destop computer go to the adapter settings then the local area connection and go to properties ipv4 then obtain an ip address automatically

Would a old DSL router work like if you plug both Ethernet cables into it
