I am a newb but I am serious in learning about networking and pentesting and was at DC25 this year, most of it did feel like a great portion of it went over my head...but we all have to start somewhere So please bare with me.
I was practicing on home network Wi-Fi and connected my Tetra to my laptop via y-cable. [see footnote for videos*•] I'm running Kali Linux on a old dell latitude I know that on some older laptops wont yield enough power for the tetra so I plug in the tetra with the power adapter. I'm following along through the video but when I check for bulletins , and I get a prompt practically saying Nope no internet connection. and I try to go to other sites but I cant.
So I tried going to a public place and manually put the Ethernet cable from their port to the tetra and I was able to have internet connection, So does the tetra always have to be connected to a physical Ethernet cable to get it's internet connection?
