Here is my problem I have a laptop that is wireless and want to let my buddy use it. He is fighting cancer and is board and sick all the time. I have a wireless router to connect my network and he only lives about a half mile away. Can he hook up to my network using the laptop to browse the INTERNET from his house?......sure could use some help here..............thanks........two-dogs Wait, let me understand the question.
Basically you want to use the wireless network half a mile away?
I don't see how that is possible...there is a way to modify the wireless antennas so they can shoot that far. IIT involves a lot of hardware hacking and adding things to each device. In the long run, it would probably be easier to buy a SYSTEM that can work at that distance already. CHECK out www.trangobroadband.com and www.enterasys.com. These systems work at very long distances (at work, I have two POINTS set up that are 15 miles apart) but are also very expensive. It would be cheaper to pay for his isp. or hook up a really big anntenna wow that things are expensivee
