Try connecting both computers together via ethernet and connect one to wifi and give it a static ip on ethernet on a differenet subnet than your network, on the computer that does have wifi don’t set a gateway but on the other computer set the laptop with wifi’s ip as the gateway and it should work Link to post Share on other sites

What you're looking for is tethering via USB. Enable it on your phone and connect the USB cable between phone and PC. I don't see anything on sharing wifi though.

What you need to do is make your S8 a wifi hotspot under settings->Wifi & Internet->Hotspot, and then connect to that wifi from your PC, but to do that you need to be able to connect wireless from your PC(you need a wifi dongle if it's not a laptop and motherboard doesn't have wifi) Link to post Share on other sites
