basically i am asking how would i be able to connect 4 computers via Ethernet cables to my linksys 4 port router and instead of having the router connect to a modem, have it connect to some kind of WLAN receiver, therefore providing free internet for all my computer.
I am able to connect and use my neighbors wireless internet on my laptop via a WLAN card and i would like to implement this into a bigger scale with the 4 pcs i have wired via etherent.
thanks any help appreciated
How to connect multiple computers to a router via ethernet cables and have the router use neighbors wifi?security
This is not possible for a number of reasons.
1. Legality -- whether or not your neighbor knows you are ''borrowing'' his wireless connection, his agreement with his ISP only covers HIS home, not other homes. So either you are stealing from him, or he is stealing from the ISP.
2. Hardware -- as noted above, the router can only route signals it receives from its HARDWIRED input port to the wireless output ports.
3. Topology -- Your neigbor's wireless router is already implementing NAT to allow multiple devices to share the single IP address provided by the ISP. NAT is NOT extensible in this way -- only one NAT hop can be implemented from the single IP address. This is because the NAT works by translating the pseudo-unique internal IP addresses used by the devices inside the router to a single IP address with unique port IDs. If you try to piggy-back a second router onto the first (even using a hardwired connection), the router can get a unique IP / port address, but it can no longer assign unique IP / port address to ITS routed devices.
