I would like to share a network connection with a neighbor, but our condos are separated by concrete walls. I am able to get a signal at my desktop b/c it is by the window, as is the wireless router in her place (SMC 802.11b). Is it possible to configure a linksys WAP 11 v
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, by upgrading the firmware. See the below for someone's practical experiences in doing very much what you want to do:
Maybe i shouldn't have used the term "bridge". I read somewhere that an AP used as a bridge could not "rebroadcast" a signal, which is exactly what I need. So can a WAP11 act as a signal relay? thanks,
