Can a computer hooked up to a wireless network be used to support a wired network?

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?

Thank you very much. That was exactly what I needed and even I could get it done.

It's not that hard.
