How to use router to access internet from other router?
Hello,
So basically I want to know if there is a way to connect to my friend's wireless internet using my wireless router.
Basically, he has a wireless router at his place, and I'll be downstairs on my computer, but I don't have a wireless card, so I was thinking I could use my old wireless router to access the signal and send it to my computer...?
If not it's ok but I was thinking it'd be cool to work and useful:P
Thanks!
Wes
