As title really, at work our pc is wired to the router, is it possible then to send this connection out wirelessly from the pc to other devices?

Vaguely seem to remember creating something like an "ad-hoc" network back in college when the wifi kept dropping out but not enough LAN ports for us to plug our laptops into.

You can purchase wireless access points with an ethernet port in and out. You could then plug the wired connection currently into your pc into the access point and a cable from the access point to your computer.

Raises the question of why don't your work already have a wireless network?

Be careful and read your terms of use / company computer policy as you may be taking yourself the fast way down the route to a disciplinary.
