    Connecting wifi to physical router for ethernet cable use


    Hello folks,

    This is not exactly Windows 10 issue but a networking issue that I need some help with.

    I am in a situation, where I need to use ethernet cable connection but there is no physical ethernet port to connect to, but there is ample wifi. I have this pocket router, Amazon.com: TP-LINK TL-WR702N Wireless N150 Travel Router, Nano Size, Router/AP/Client/Bridge/Repeater Modes, Up to 150Mbps, USB Powered: Computers Accessories which I think can be used for this purpose. I just want to confirm, it is indeed possible.

    Many thanks in advance.

    :)

    Internet keeps getting disconnected from the router

    Hi,

    For us to isolate the issue, we would like to know the following:

    • Is the Ethernet cable tightly connected to your PC and router?
    • Have you tried using a different Ethernet cable or plugging the cable on a different Ethernet port on your router and PC?
    • Have you tried checking the Ethernet cable if there's any physical damage?

    Regards.

    Windows 10 cant connect to internet

    thanks for trying to help, Robert. Yes my router is only 2 feet away, but with no reset button. The wifi shows up as (x) secured, Power-cycling, entering SSID, have no effect. No problem connecting to the router by ethernet cable, except the sheer physical
    inconvenience. 2 months now with no wifi!
