Re: shared WifI web between houses?

The simple answer is yes. But the router must have bridging capability. IE. 
be a bridge rather than a simple router. I will leave it to others to 
recommend a specific unit. Keeping in mind that You don't have easy access 
to the great feast of equipment available in the USA. I  am in Italy right 
now and can attest to the limited resources and high prices of equipment 
locally. Many net purveyors do not ship internationally.
