AI Thread Summary
Wireless modems can connect to a university's Wi-Fi and allow internet access through an RJ45 cable to a computer. This setup enables the computer to share the Wi-Fi connection with devices like an Arduino's Ethernet shield. The process is straightforward, as computers can switch between Wi-Fi and wired connections without user intervention. Internet Connection Sharing on Windows can facilitate this connection easily. Overall, using a wireless modem in this manner is feasible and effective for accessing the internet.

Wifi is simply a network signal. Connecting to wifi is no different to plugging into an ethernet port (hard wire).

Computers can easily switch between the two with no interaction from the user.

thanks a lot paying heed to the problem ,
but actually i asked the problem because my universities is just having wifi net and i need to connect my arduino's ethernet shield to the computer and that why i need to connect one end of the RJ45 to the shield and the other to the modem having the port for the cable.so... that was the big picture,, hope you understand the problem and hope u can suggest something..

I have absolutely no idea what you're asking.

It sounds like you want to connect to the university wifi and then share the connection through the computers RJ45 port to allow this Arduino thing to connect to the internet. In which case, Windows can do this very easily via Internet Connection Sharing.
 
Well, the date has now passed, and Windows 10 is no longer supported. Hopefully, the readers of this forum have done one of the many ways this issue can be handled. If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...
I've been having problems for the past few weeks with the display on my Dell computer. I bought the computer new back in 2019 or so, which makes it about 6 years old. My monitor is a 27" HP monitor that I bought for another computer (an HP Pavilion), recently demised, back in about 2012 or 2013. As far as I can tell, the computer, which is running a 10-core Xeon Scalable processor, is functioning as it should. The first symptom was that the screen would go dark, which I would attempt to...
