Would I be able to connect 2 PC's together via Ethernet while still using the on-board WiFi on each to provide them with an internet connection? The reason I ask this is because I want to be able to use Steam's In home streaming to its full potential, and reduce any wireless induced latency, but still be able to have bother devices be connected to the internet, while also being connected together (In their own little network)

Is this possible? And if so, would I need any special equipment to do so, or would I need to set it up in a certain way?

Cheers.

Yeah, I am running it right now.(go to the pc with the wireless connection) right click on the wifi/Ethernet Icon on the bottem left and hit Open network and sharing then change adapter settings. Right click on the wifi adapter and properties, go to the sharing tab and hit allow other network users to connect through this internet connection. Use the Selector to pick the Ethernet device. Connect both devices with the Ethernet cable and you should be good
