internal wireless as outside interface
 

Hey there I had a quick question to see if this is possible. What i wanted to do was use a linux machine with a wireless and wired interface to act as a router. The wireless interface would be the outside and get its IP via DHCP from the wireless my landlord provides. The wired connection would be for my local pcs. I understand it would be slow having multiple pcs using a single wireless gateway.

Thanks :)

Yes, you could do that easily, though as you said, WiFi may not be the best choice for routing multiple devices over. But it would certainly work, and if you have no other choice you will have to deal with it.

Thank you, this thread actually explains how to do something similar but with an xbox
