I suddenly need a wired connection for a job starting very soon but it won’t be hooked up for quite some time. I have my neighborswifi password though. Iknow this is a longshot, but would I be able to use my laptop to change a wireless connection into a wired connection?
It’s an older desktop Mac managed by the company. My laptop is an HP omen 15 with arch Linux on it
Rather than trying to get your idea to work you would be better off getting a cheep WiFi access point as they often allow you to connect it to a wifi network and pass it through to wired devices via ethernet (bridging).
Some Wifi routers have a setting to allow it to be used in bridge mode as well.
