@832-884-4015, does your friend's PC have Wi-Fi? If so, they can connect to your TM gateway. If not, they will need to access the TM gateway's internet access through an ethernet cable. 

You may want to invest in a switch that allows several devices connect to your TM gateway using ethernet cables (some devices do not have wifi cards/technology internally.

Let us know if this works.
