Hey there! My school's Ethernet connection has been really unreliable lately, and I'm looking for a backup solution. My PC struggles to get a decent connection to the wireless network, but oddly enough, my Mac connects really well. I've come across some confusing information about using a USB-C to Ethernet cable for sharing the connection, and I'm wondering if I can actually use my Mac's strong connection to boost my PC. If that's not possible, I'm open to any other suggestions!

If you're leaning towards the router method, it's pretty straightforward. You usually just go into your network settings on the Mac, look for the Internet Sharing option, and follow the prompts. If you need exact steps, just ask!
I’d suggest considering a USB WiFi dongle for your PC. It's usually less complicated. Just make sure to get a good one, as some can lose connection pretty often.
Hotspotting your connection is another way to do it! You could set your Mac up as a router for your PC. Just keep in mind that it might take some extra setup.
You can definitely share your Mac's connection! Just connect your Mac to your PC using a USB-C cable. Enable Internet Sharing on your Mac, and your PC will recognize it as a regular Ethernet connection, allowing it to tap into the strong Wi-Fi signal your Mac receives.
