I have a HP Z420 desktop workstation running Fedora 32 Linux. The apartment I live in does not have an Ethernet cable Internet connection anywhere near it but there is a Wi-Fi network. The only problem is, I can't get the Wi-Fi connection to work with Fedora, and asking on the net (via my workplace, where I have a working connection) did not help. I got no answers.
The workstation's Internet connection worked all OK at my previous apartment where I could connect it via an Ethernet cable. So a solution would be to somehow connect it to the Wi-Fi network via the cable. Are there devices that can pick up an existing Wi-Fi network and connect computers to it via an Ethernet cable?
