And do both routers, i.e A and B both have to have bridging capability? I've tried this before and just got confused and gave up (probably more due to lack of manufacturers instructions). Was hoping to set up something very similar. My main router/modem is a (Belkin f5d7630) and I have a seperate Pheenet WL118G+ (Long range wireless multi client bridge), can anyone help with this hardware combination?

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.

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. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://seattlewireless.net/mailman/listinfo/dev No virus found in this incoming message.
