Catch & share the Free Internet

Question: Hi. my sister needs Internet and she doesn't use the net too often. However, if I go to her backyard and go to the far corner I can get a signal to a free wifi from a car dealer
"ROUFUSZFREEPUBLICWIFI". Anyways, I want to make her house have a wireless network from this. I have an extra linksys router from my home. i was hoping there was an easy solution to connecting one of your antennas to my router.

It would look like this:

ROUFUZWIFI ----(your antenna---myrouter)---- mysisterscpu&guests cpu

and the only one connected via a wire would be your antenna and my router.

If you can help find a solution for this please let me know. id love to purchase from you if it
means a hassle free setup. thanks.

Solution: The factory linksys router can't operate as a univeral repeater even if you are able to boost its signal using a stronger antenna.

Two solutions:

Solution A:
What you could do is to use the 11N Catch&Share WiFi repeater (size of a router) to pick up the signal from the car dealer and share it with your sister and other guests simutaneously and wirelessly.

The config looks like this:

ROUFUZWIFI---(Yagi===11N WiFi Repeater===Omni)---mysisterscpu&guests computers

where
--- wireless link
=== wired link

We could supply the whole repeater kit at US$185.00 including the shipping charge..

Solution B:
However, there is an alternate solution that allows you to reuse your linksys router. This requires a Windows based PC to switch on whenever WiFi is needed.

The config looks like this:

ROUFUZWIFI---(USB-Yagi===Computer===Linksys Router)---mysisterscpu&guests computers

where
--- wireless link
=== wired link

You just need to purchase the NextG USB-Yagi for this solution only.

Follow up: Solution B fits the bill. It's adequate for her occasional use. Please don't forget to ship it with your setup manual. Cheers.
