Scenario
The wired network is only limited to one device to connect at a time, but I want to share the Internet with more
wireless devices.
I am in a Wi-Fi "dead-zone" or a place with weak wireless signal. I want to have a greater effective range of the
wireless signal for a better Internet connection throughout my home or office.
I have a wired device with an Ethernet port and no wireless capability, for example, a Smart TV, Media Player, or
game console. I wish to be able to play it online wirelessly in my home.
I want to be able to access the Internet wirelessly, but this place only has an Ethernet port (wired network)
available.
I want to receive Internet access from a Wireless Internet Service Provider(WISP), and share the Internet with local
devices.
