I need some advice on whether I can bridge my wireless and lan connections to allow me to use my wifi from my main PC to update a wired device.
I have an unRAID NAS running headless wired to my network switch. I have a desktop PC with a choice of Linux or Windows with both a wired connection to the switch and a wifi antenna. My switch is wired to my broadband router which is without broadband service.
My only internet access at the moment is through a mobile wifi dongle which the main PC can see.
There is no wifi enabled on the NAS. My desktop PC has a choice of wired (which can see the NAS connected to the switch) or the wifi dongle (which cannot see the NAS).
I would like to update the plugins and docker on the NAS. Given a choice of Linux Mint 18 or Windows 10 on the main PC, is there a way to have both the wired connection to the switch and the wifi dongle active at the same time on the main PC so that I can see the NAS but still access the internet to update the plugins?
Does that make sense?
