Connect ORBI 850 to existing Wifi, then network cable into PC
Dear all i would like to connect to an external wifi with my pc that has no built in wifi. I have an Orbi rbs 850 satelite and would like to hook it up to the wifi and then use cable between it ...
Sorry for incomplete description, the WiFi that I am going to connect to is an external (non-Orbi) hotel WiFi. So I need a bridge between my PC and the Wifi as my PC has no WiFi adapter and am trying to use the Orbi as this bridge.

The correct solution is a WiFi-USB adapter, Search on Amazon for "WiFi USB adapter for laptop".
There are dozens of products starting at about $15US.
If you need it today, Best Buy, Office Depot, and Staples all carry them, although they have mostly name brands starting at about $25.
