Re: How to share wifi through ethernet port as a wireless extender?

But sometimes its interesting why something isnt working as much as it is having it work first time out of box. Yeah that was my point - to learn how and why.

How to share wifi through ethernet port as a wireless extender?

Just wondering if this would be possible with puppy. I have an old Dell Inspiron mini someone gave me.
