Wifi to ethernet (lemmy.world)

Hi all, looking for some guidance on getting wired networking upstairs to my pcs.

Currently I have my internet connection coming in downstairs. Without running cables upstairs is it possible to connect something to my existing wifi network and then break it out to to ethernet?

Any help much appreciated.

Ah, I see. It's been a long time since I dove into this....

OP will probably want to use plain Client Mode then. Same thing, but a bit more stable and with an extra NAT.

Not really a big deal unless you need clients on the primary network to reach the services on secondary network. Then you've just gotta be aware of the extra NAT and the port forwarding required.
