Answer 1

Not without some serious modification. You'd basically have to get a wireless router and put the part that makes it do what i does inside your laptop and hook it up somewhere for you to be able to do what you want it to.

Your best option is just to get a wireless router.

Answer 2

NO you cannot do this.  A laptop is not an access point for WIFI.  The only thing to use is either another wireless router, or an access point to extend your current wifi.

sorry for the bad news.

Good luck

Answer 3

You can, you have to set up a Virtual Private Network on your laptop. Or, there is an option in Internet Settings that you can share your network.
