Hi @dimkr: Thanks! But does this mean I can skip the "messing with my neighnour's router" part? I f so, I'll give it a try...

Sorry if this question is trivial, but as I said I'm very new to all of this...

You can use a wifi link but in the long run for stability I recommend to use a proper physical Ethernet cable if possible ask your friendly neighbour.

Wifi can be very unstable, not properly reconnect etc that can be very annoying. But as a test to play with it sure go for it :)

Pi over WiFi as a server? — Hi! I'm not super tech savvy, yet I'd like to try self-hosting my own Gemini capsule on my own Respberry Pi Zero 2 W in the near future... But both of my internet connections are wireless. My home doesn't have a land line, so I only have my mobile phone service with limited data, and the WiFi connection that my neighbour kindly shares with me... We also share meals and he stores his work stuff in my garage. So no, I'm not stealing his internet, hehe... My question...
