Best way to steal neighbor's wireless signal?

have a wireless card in my laptop and picked up a pretty good signal from someone's Linksys access point in my building.

I bought a Netgear cable/dsl wireless router (4 Ethernet ports also ) thinking I can set it up as a repeater (for the stolen signal) and be able to hook in other (wired) PC's in my apartment. The problem is, the

antenna is only a transmitter (as far as I can tell) and the router expects an Internet connection to come from the dsl/cable port. Did I get the wrong box? I saw an Ethernet bridge on the Netgear site. Is this what I need?

Thanks Rog
