I may need to be without Comcast for a time. Is there a way to use a tablet WiFi hotspot and a laptop to feed my router so I can support two desktops?
We got a small tablet from Verizon before going on a trip in June. It works well as a WiFi hotspot to connect our laptops. But since our desktops don't have radios, I'm hoping there's a way to make one of my laptops serve my router so I can continue to serve our desktops. I assume I'll need to install and configure something to be a DCHP server so the router can get an address from the laptop. To save on Verizon data usage, I probably won't leave the tablet connected to Verizon all the time. Is there something I'll need to do on the laptop so that it doesn't try to connect to the router when the tablet is off? Or maybe I don't actually turn the tablet off, but just disconnect it from Verizon. Advice appreciated. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
