Please log in for more thread options At my house I receive Internet trough WiFi (not very typical). There is antenna on top of my house and is connected to wireless card in my desktop PC. I want to create a new wireless network that would cover my house. Therefore I am trying to find a router that would route between external WiFi network and my (to be created) home WiFi network however I cannot locate appropriate hardware. Could anyone help me with identifing approporiate solution? (the only thing that comes to my mind so far are two routers that route between LAN/WiFi but I look for simpler solution) Thanks in advance Tomek | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Any of the modular Cisco routers with 2 wireless cards? Not cheap though. I am almost sure that one of the 1800 range would do but I would guess that the wireless cards HWIC..... would be 500US each (new). Any maybe more for the chassis and software. | ||||||||||||||||

See if your ISP offers such an option. That's your solution of least hassle, long-term. Otherwise you could setup your PC to act as a router. Add an ethernet card to it. Then connect that ethernet card to an access point. Configure the access point and use it to connect through the PC to the internet. The downside being that PC will have to be on all the time. That and routing software setup on the PC is somewhat "less than trivial" if you want it to be secure. Check with your ISP about how to use multiple wired PCs in your house. If they can do that then you're in business. | ||||||||||||||||

Also - is the wireless card in your PC something standard, or is the WISP using something "different" ? Since you already have a WiFi signal broadcasting from your roof to your PC - then it might cover the rest of the house, if you can have other WiFi computers connecting to the roof ? | ||||||||||||||||

> - Poka=BF cytowany tekst - WISP is very local and website is only in my native language (Polish). The card in my PC is regular WiFi card linked to an anntena on the roof. The signal is too faint indors to be of any use. Morover only the card provided by WISP cann connect (MAC) - they say I can clon the MAC to a router if I like. | ||||||||||||||||
