When I came back from my school holiday, I had a desktop computer in my study, and my laptop wanted to access the Internet in my room. Because there was only one cat, it seems that only two computers can access the Internet simultaneously through a wireless router. However, the wireless router brought back from the school failed to access the network due to a certain problem, and the technicians could not solve it. (I will talk about it later, install the gsky-link external network card that I brought back on the desktop and configure the "Access Point" mode (if you use a wireless connection that comes with windows, configure the wireless network) so that the desktop can be used as the network access point, then you can connect to the study desktop with a laptop wireless network card in your room to access the Internet.

In fact, this problem is relatively easy to solve. As long as there is any external wireless network card, install the software that comes with it at the time of purchase and configure it as the "Access Point" mode, (For security, you can set the WPA-PSK key again), other machines can find the wireless network access point SSID of the machine in the wireless network, the connection can be connected to the Internet.

Here is a brief description of gsky-link:

First install and open the software RealTek USB wireless LAN utility.

Click "Mode" in the menu bar and select "Access Point ". In this case, the software is automatically configured and switched to the access point mode.

 

Click "Configure" to set the network key authentication method, enter the network key, and change the SSID (network ID ). Click OK.

Next, use my laptop to open the wireless network, connect to the network of the SSID, and enter the network key to access the Internet.

 

This is to bypass the router to solve the problem of two computers accessing the Internet at the same time. The advantage is that the router is not needed. The disadvantage is that the Access Point computer (my home is a study desktop) needs to be opened and accessed, other computers can access the Internet through this network.
