Wi-Fi and Wardriving while sitting down.

Yea. So, here's my question.

Is there anything that I can buy that I can sit in my house that can connect to my neighbor's router?

So freaking like I want to know if there is a unit similar to a wireless router; however, instead of needing wired connections, can I get something that will pretty much extend his network through my house?

Yea. Linksys makes one. It basically take the signal and resends its out, stronger. Hopefully, you're close enough for this to work, and that he doesn't have a password on his router, or that he's letting you get on.

Thats the device. I'm sure there are better places to get it from. That's just the first that popped up.

if its unsecured you should be able to pick it up

nope he's running an open wi-fi and he's next door.

how about this, would this work?

i can pick it up, but i have to be in my living room to get a good connection, and i want to be able to access it anywhere in my house.

I used to be able to do this @ my mom's house w/ the neigbor's fast cable connection, then one day they decided to WEP-protect it cry @ my dad's there's tons of wireless networks when I scan, but the ones w/o protection aren't in range...

Buy a wireless access point, replace one of the antennas with one of these things, and point it at the neighbor's house

i want something cheap, rob..haha

i'm not planning on spending $100s of dollars..

i already have a wi-fi connection, but i want to use my neighbor's when mine get's turned off.

Your internet is turned off? Lemme guess...parents dont want you on it past 9pm?

Mine tried to pull that crap on me when I was a kid. Too bad my dad didnt set it right and it left it on all the time.

Get a good directional external antenna from a company like Hawking for your client card.

It'll make a HELL of a difference. If somehow it doesn't cut it, then a repeater is what you'd need, and Hawking has those too.

no. when i go to bed it has to be turned off, so if i want to get up at 3 in the morning and don't want to trudge all the way downstairs to my modem, i want to just be able to use my neighbor's connection.

Stop turning your modem off?

...next time one of them says that to you, punch them in the gut. Seriously, that's ridiculous! Tell them you'll write them a check for $0.03 every month to cover the added cost of the modem being on 24x7.
