Raspberry Pi Forums

I have some questions, can i connect the pi to a laptop lcd that is not a touch screen for use as a display, i didn't find anything usefull searching the forum, and can i use the pi as a access point for 5ghz wifi so that i can run an thernet cable to my ps4 and use 5ghz wifi via that way? I know i can do that with my laptop.

You can but it is difficult, you will need to find a suitable LCD driver board for your screen and connect the driver board to the Pi. Not easy and not free.
See this guide for a walkthrough.

Yes, you can set up a Pi to do that, I'm not certain of the details of how to do so but i suspect that google will find the answer quickly.

thank you
