How to steal neighbor's signal?

I 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

That sounds illegal to me. Am I correct?

Why should we help you steal something someone else has paid for? Why don't you pay
your own way, instead of being a useless parasite?

You need to go to troll school if that's the best you can manage.

I don't have $100 box for cable modem yet since I'm not working.
This would only be for a few months (I hope).

This is not a troll but a technical question. If you don't know how to
repeat a non WEP secure signal, don't post stupid crap plz.

Receiving a signal is one thing, being able to use it is quite another.
If the network is protected (very likely) then you won't be able to use
it.

Firstly why should we care whether you've the money or not?

Secondly as you're obviously a stupid yank (check the appalling spelling of
"neighbor") why are you posting in "UK.comp.* ?)

Thirdly, if you've not got the money - GO AND EARN IT - you are a total loser - I
even bet you voted for George W Bush. (W = wanker)

Come back at this if you've got the courage you useless tosser
