donschulz603,

 

Welcome to the community! 🙂

 

I am wondering if possible of i can configure the switch to be able to share wifi resources to my other devices.

It is NOT possible.  The FS726 is an unmanaged switch and therefore, there are no settings to configure.  The main purpose of the FS726 is to extend the LAN.

 

My only connection to the internet is through a wifi connection via Atheros USB adapter and 1 PC wifi adapter.

Since you mentioned that you have a wireless connection to the internet, do you have a wireless router?  

 

How is everything connected?  It would be best if you post a detailed diagram of your current network setup.  

 


Regards,
