This in turn gives each machine on a home Ethernet network an Internet connection.
So how can users of portable mobile LTE or WiMAX hotspots benefit from using a Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapter? Easy - instead of using an adapter to connect a single machine (or game console) to a hotspot, connect it to an Ethernet switch instead. Initially, these adapters were popular in the console gaming community as a way of connecting consoles with Ethernet ports to home W-Fi networks and the Internet. Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapters are devices that bridge Ethernet and Wi-Fi networks.
