I want to share a WiFi connection with a few neighbours, problem is they are quite some distance apart. between me and my first neighbour, there is another person who wouldn't mind if I stuck up some kind of relay in the way to boost the signal. Would it be possible for me to put a WifI network up in my house, and another off-the-shelf wifi router up in my neighbours house, just plugged in to the mains, no PCs or anything, to boost the signal to my other neighbour ? ie A has the base station but is too far from B, but B agrees to just plug in a router in his loft/chimney with no other stuff, just to boost the signal a bit further etc. Can this be done? preferences for (home-based/cheap!) equipment? approx 120m line-of-sight with 1 house in the way. I know this has been a subject on here before, but I'm not technical at all. All I know is that I have direct line-of-sight to my neighbour over the road, and he in turn has direct line of sight to my other neighbour. If I stick a WiFi router up on the chimney, as will the other two hoses, can we share the WiFi? We live up in the mountains in Spain and I have a phone line, but my neighbours cant get one (let alone broadband!) hence the share request. Also need a parts list if anyone can recommend exterally-fitted (ie weatherproof) units. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- s.
