How to let a Ethernet hub access a wifi network ?

Yes, repeating what I said back in post #2. You can use something called a 'range extender' like this: RE450 | AC1750 Wi-Fi Range Extender | TP-Link Basically it is a WIFI adapter with an ethernet port that you can connect to your external ethernet switch/hub and provide wireless access to/from your remote wired devices. I do this exactly in my garage to connect multiple wired ethernet devices to my home wireless network. I hang a 16 port POE ethernet switch off the RE450 device. If you don't like TPlink pretty much any wireless gear provider makes similar devices. Google for 'wireless range extender'.

 

How to let a Ethernet hub access a wifi network ?

I guess I have not described my situation clearly enough. Because all of the answers are way off base with my situation. Let me try again. 1) Currently I have two windows 10 computers in the backyard. I have a wireless network inside my house. I want to connect one computer in the backyard to the other computer in the backyard and use remote desktop from one to the other. I also want to have each computer in the backyard to have access to the internet. 2) I have tried connecting each of the computers in the backyard to the house wifi network. This setup has shown itself to be unreliable. The remote desktop connection between the two computers in the backyard is the most unreliable connection. It is more unreliable than the connection of each computer to the internet. I think this is probably because the connection needs to make two trips, from computer A to the house wireless network and then from the wireless network back out to computer B. 3) I cannot run an ethernet cable from the house out to the two computers in the yard because of some obstacles. 4) Currently, I have the remote desktop connection working by using an Ethernet cable between them. The remote desktop connection is stable, but I lose the internet connection for both computers. That has turned out to be a bigger problem than I thought it would be. 5) I was thinking that maybe I could attach computers outside, by Ethernet cable, to a hub, and then connect the hub to the house wifi maybe that could work. But I don't know how I could connect the hub to the house wifi network. 6) I am looking for suggestions on how to connect the hub outside to the house wifi. Can this be done?

 

laptop can't find wifi but connects with ethernet cable

Please try these troubleshooting steps that may help.

1. Make sure the router SSID broadcast is on.
   
2. Change the wifi channel to see if it resolves the problem.
   
3. Enter the SSID and WPA2 password manually and see if the laptop connects.
   
4. Temporarily turn off the encryption.
   
5. We go into device manager & check updates for wifi drivers, we may need to simply update the driver.
   
6. We go to Settings - Network & Internet - Status - Change Adapter Options, then right-clicked 'Ethernet' and disabled it. We do the same with wifi. Then we (with Ethernet still disabled) enabled wifi. It should re-connect to your wifi after a while.
   
7. We have to disconnect our Ethernet cable from our laptop and follow the steps:
   Start>Control Panel>Network and Sharing Center>Manage Wireless Networks and remove all wireless connections by right click on it and select Remove network from the drop down menu. After doing this, close the windows and scan for the wifi networks.
   Click on the available network and select connect. After a while, we will be asked to give a password for our wifi connection. Type the password and click on connect button. And now will be connected to our wifi network via wireless.
   
8. First is to disconnect the internet cable from the laptop then uninstall/reinstall the wifi adapter.
   Go to Device Manager and uninstall the wifi adapter.
   Once uninstalled, reboot the laptop and it should reinstall the driver automatically.
   After the reboot do try connecting to your wireless network again.
   If all these will not work, do also make sure that the wireless adapter is enabled. Depending the model of your laptop there should be key combinations on how to enable/disable it.
