Hello everyone! I recently moved into an apartment complex with “community wifi.” It looks like the connection is secure, which is fine. My problem is that the building only added one Ethernet port for the TV in every apartment. There’s no Wi-Fi anywhere else in the house, and the complex says they won’t add any more ports. Since my computer doesn’t have a built-in Wi-Fi card, I’ve been trying to connect my Google Wi-Fi routers through the wall’s Ethernet port. It seems those routers aren’t working. Do I need to purchase a Wi-Fi card for my PC? Thank you in advance.
Please let me know if you forgot something. If you want to connect Google WiFi on a machine without a built-in Wi-Fi card, this configuration might assist. I get it you’re aiming for a specific result, but most homes set up those ports for one device only, linking to a central hub. Adding your own router without proper setup could cause double-NAT issues and IP conflicts. Still, you’d need a Wi-Fi card if you plan to use the building’s network or Google WiFi directly.
