computer guys need help setting up wireless

whats up tacoma dudes. i got a question maybe it could be easy for some of you. me and my neighbors want to share internet service and split the bill between us (like 5 computers) i plan to upgrade to a faster internet my provider has (says 15mb dl) if itll even make a difference we just dont want it being slow incase were all downloading something. anyways, they barley get a signal from their house from my router, we live in a lot kinda like a condo with 3 houses, is it possible to put some type of signal booster in the middle house? i really dont wanna run a wire to their house and connect that to a router they have. any suggestions?

 

maybe get a router with the extended range, range booster, Dlink sells one of those repeater devices your asking about used to use one. the Range was ok

 

You could set up an access point if you were so inclined, that would do it. Or a signal repeater, either can be run from their living area, and pick up off your signal.

 

Lookup a WiFi repeater, you can repeat the signal and bounce it to the next location.

 

when i get home i can check my settings for you....i have 2 routers... 1 router is set to be a "router" and assign IP addresses ... the other router is set to just simply an access point... you will need to run 1 cat 5 line between each router... the purpose for this is to assign the access point router an IP so that it can in turn act as a "router".... you'll have wireless from both devices.

 

Do a Wifi repeater and remember to close the network.

 

You are really doing your neighbor a dis service if you want him to only utilize the WiFi portion of your router. For every WiFi device connected to your router you will decrease the available bandwidth. For all things to be equal you should run cat5 to his house and let him use his own router. All you need is cat5 and some pvc pipe to put it underground.

 

if you have an extra linksys wireless router laying around, you can hit up dd-wrt.com and use custom firmware to make it a repeater. and of course make sure you lock it down.

 

i actually do have a extra dlink router, and they all have laptops so wireless is all they need. im going to look into the repeaters as well as how make that dlink router i have a repeater. thanks for the input guys, highly appreciated.
