I was just wondering if something like this would work. Get a wireless ethernet bridge(s) and latch on the your neighbors wifi connection(s), then plug the ethernet bridge into a multi-wan router. Seems like it should, but don't want to spend money on the equipment if i'm not sure if it will work or not. Anyone know?
You just want to be able to hook wireless to you non wireless router???
I do that with a wireless access point hooked to my wired router
If thats what you wanted to know
why would you connect the ethernet bridge to a muti-wan router ? There is already a router which is providing access as well as being a wireless access point so a second router would only make sense if you were going to subnet and then you would need to configure the other router. You can either buy a single port ethernet bridge and then connect a switch to it to give multiple ethernet connections or buy a multiport ethernet bridge.Quote:
