I suddenly need a wired connection for a job starting very soon but it won’t be hooked up for quite some time. I have my neighborswifi password though. Iknow this is a longshot, but would I be able to use my laptop to change a wireless connection into a wired connection?

It’s an older desktop Mac managed by the company. My laptop is an HP omen 15 with arch Linux on it

    Don’t do it the hard way. Get a GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 (or any but that one is inexpensive) and set it up as an extender for the neighbor WiFi. It’s a basic function of the router and the Mac shouldn’t know the difference.
