Not sure if that title is accurate, this field is not my strong point. Basically I’m about to move homes. And in my new (temporary) home I wont have access to ethernet, plus my server doesn’t have a network card. I was therefore wondering if it was possible to bridge a connection between my laptop to my server with an ethernet cable. This would obviously be a short term solution, but I’m wondering if it’s possible and if so, how? Or is it better to buy a cheap network card?
My laptop is running NixOS and my server Unraid, if it should be to any help.
You can do the same with $25 mikrotik device.
Infact, a lot of cheap wireless APs can connect to a wifi and bridge to ethernet, especially if they are running an openWRT fork (most cheapo wifi APs do)
