Not sure how to explain this but... my neighbor and i would like to
setup my place/network/lan using an outside access point (buddy next
door [If your wondering, I have his ok]). Now if i just wanted to
connect one of my computers then no problem but i would like to be able
to setup a point so i can just plug my (mostly wireless) network into
say one router, and probably an antennae (the signal is ok, but could
be stronger).

So, is it possible to have one wireless router "feed" off the signal of
another wireless router and then i can plug my wired network into this
router (maybe i am getting the terminology mixed up, yes i'ma noob)?
Are there any howto-for-noobs on the web? Everything i have found so
far deals with getting one computer to connect with a router.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

-Gaiko

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve here but I'll take a
stab at it.

Wireless router at neighbors >------------<Wireless Ethernet bridge at your
place> ethernet cable>ethernet switch or wireless router>computers on you
side.

The bridge allows you to connect your network to his network as if you ran a
cable from his place to your place.

If you give a little bit better description of what you want as the end
result it might be helpful. Do you want to share files back and forth
between your network and his or just share an internet connection? Do you
want to stop access to your computers by your neighbor?
