Wireless question
First of all, this question isn't OS specific so if this isn't the appropriate place, please let me know.
I want to share my DSL connection between my neighbor's house and my house. My neighbor currently has a wireless network setup in his house (he's using a wireless DSL router as a hub since he doesn't have DSL). If I bought a DSL router, could we connect the router in my house with his wirelessly? I don't care if we're on the same network. If so, how (theoretically) would we go about doing this? Thanks for any help!, Jon |
Just buy a wireless card and log onto his network.
I can pick up my neighbors network just fine. :) Have fun |
You'll need a wireless bridge. Search here

Let me clarify some stuff. First, I want to have a wireless network between three computers in my house too. So, what I was hoping I could do is buy a DSL router for me which would act as a router and an access point. Part 1 solved. Now, I'd like to extend this network across the street to my neighbor (as the same network). Since they'd be the same network, I don't think I need a bridge, correct? Bridges are only to connect two different networks, right? My neighbor uses his router as an access point (he doesn't have DSL or anything connected to it). So, I guess my question is, can his router connect with mine in a way where it would be like I have a router and an access point? Does this make any sense? :)
Thanks, Jon |
He cannot use your bandwidth to create hs own network unless he uses a wireless bridge or you run Cat 5 to him. He can get on your network using his own wireless card but you know that.
