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

Anyway, it was about a person who went to jail for stealing neighbor's
wireless connection to access the Internet.

Unfortunately that link has expired or is unavailable.

Gee, at least when someone asks here how to do stuff like this, they
usually (or often) ask whether it's legal or moral!

Why mess around? ;-)

I could easily steal my neighbours signal if i wanted to. i dont need a
router or an access point, i just need an antenna to point at the wall
to pick up the signal coming from his access point,
set my ssid to be the same as his (it is default of course) and set my
card to get an ip address from his access point / router.

Yes. I can get my laptop to work fine. I just wanted to hook up other
PCs via wired Ethernet ports also.

you are taking the p now roger.
why not chap his doore and ask him if you can drill a hole in the hole
and feed through an ethernet cable.
