Say you have a Jetson nano, and you want to connect it to the internet using an Ethernet connection with your PC/Laptop. This is straightforward with just a few clicks. I have Ubuntu as my OS and this is what I did

  • Open network manager (you can run your network manager by typing nm-connection-editor in your terminal)
  • Click on creating a new connection
  • Select Ethernet, name is as you wish, e.g., Jetson
  • Go to “IPv4 Settings”, and select “Shared to the other computers” method
  • Now plug in the Ethernet cable to your pc and Jetson. Select jetson connection on your PC and your PC will act as a router for your Jetson.
