I think you can bridge the connection. Search up how to bridge a connection.

Just to add a little, I figured this out and use it to bridge to my xbox 360, saved myself from buying that crappy wireless adapter.

Works great too.

Only thing is OP, if you are going to download something big, remember to put the sleep mode to "never"
