I have a wireless network in my home. Works great.

My office laptop, that I am using during this crisis has to be hooked up to a wired network. No wireless capability.

The problem is that my home router is in an inconvienatnt location that precludes me plugging in my work laptop.

I was wondering if there was a way to connect, via wire, my work laptop to one of my home computers (that is hooked up to the wireless network) and gain access to the net work?
