You have the capacity for a LAN - you'll just need to turn your USB-tethered machine into a router. Although, perhaps that is work you don't want to bother doing. The WiFi capabilities of the device would also allow you to have a LAN. But if you have reasons for turning it off beyond "I don't need no WiFi", then I suppose turning it on would be detrimental. -- |_|O|_| Registered Linux user #585947 |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281
