«

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

You need to send this question to Benjamin Smith III. See:

Actually what you need is to purchase your own Internet connection and quit
stealing.
