How to share an Internet connection using Ethernet or WiFi in Windows

In many cases, you can connect all devices to the same Wi-Fi network, so there is no problem connecting them online. But what happens to each room if one of your devices cannot access the connection, or because there is no Wi-Fi, no Wi-Fi, or access is restricted (for example, in a hotel where only one connection is allowed)? Fortunately, you can easily share an Internet connection in Windows 10, either through a direct Ethernet connection or by turning the host into a hot spot. Client devices don't even need to run Windows.

A direct Ethernet solution is convenient when one of your devices has wireless networking capabilities and the other does not. Recently, when you install Ubuntu on a raspberry Pi, you need to share an Internet connection over Ethernet. Wi-Fi is included in Pi, but I can't make Ubuntu out of the box, so I just plugged the Ethernet port of the raspberry Pi into the Ethernet-to-USB adapter, which is connected to a Windows laptop.

How to use Ethernet to share your Internet in Windows.

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the client device to the host. If there is no Ethernet port on any device, use the USB-to-Ethernet adapter.

two。 Go to the network connection menu. The easiest way is to search for "network connections" in the Windows search box.
