Is there any way to broadcast the internet connection from Ethernet to WiFi on Ubuntu?

Broadcast Ubuntu network connection over WiFi from Ethernet

An access point (Usually a router can be configured as an access point) can do this. It recieves ethernet and allows WiFi devices to connect to it.

I know, we have a WiFi router but I want to use the Ubuntu computer as a router where the internet signal is weak. – Wuffers – 2010-06-01T16:11:02.953

sounds like it should be possible. sometimes people call it a "ad-hoc" network. – djangofan – 2010-06-01T16:30:45.480
yeah it's possible, but when I tried it a few versions back it was a pain. I think I had to install a network card manager tool. I don't really remember. – DLH – 2010-06-01T17:23:28.100
See my updates answer, perhaps this is what you're looking for. – BloodPhilia – 2010-06-01T18:13:27.543
