Linking 2 routers together

I always love when someone gets lined up just right with the aerator and punches a wire with ever spoke and you just find little 6" pieces.

C'mon Flo, thats not as fun as a couple high gain antennas that have up to a 3 mile range.

I'd look for better cat than what Lowes has though.

Wait, 100 feet?

Go to Lowe's and buy some bulk cat5/6 rated for outdoor, bury it in some PVC pipe...

The best way to do what you want is to get a wireless bridge. Set it up to talk to the neighbor's router, then connect it to your router, like a modem.

Or even better, for about $100 you can get a high gain antenna set up. If you are close enough you may only need one side and can do it for $50.

Yep - ddwrt is a free firmware alternative you can likely use on your router to have it act as a relay for theirs.

Its a PITA to set up correctly tho, but once its setup, it works fine. If you don't know what you are doing, you can easily brick your router to a non-functioning state during the install.

Hey all,

I have a good question for someone smarter than I am, on this topic. I am on a Toshiba Satelite Laptop, and I am using me neighbors internet through there router, of course with permission from them. My internet gets dropped all the time, I am only about 100 feet from the router. My question is, is there a way of connecting 2 routers together so my signal want be dropped. There router along with my router, to get one good signal? I have the same type router they have which is the same

a Wireless-G Broadband Router, 2.4 GHz Linksys system.

Thank-you for any feedback I may get!
