Shouldn't need to, on the repeater just enter the SSID and WEP/WPA/WPA2/encryption key and it'll do the rest. Only issue you'll have is if your neighbour decides to had MAC filtering, which case you're a bit screwed (unless they're alright with you sharing and give you access) :lol: | |

Wireless repeater then, that'll do the job :), do I just plug it that's it or will I need access to the router to set it up? As that might be quite difficult :lol: | |

There are ways but I'm pretty sure you would need access to the original router for anything wirelessly. Others should he able to confirm but effectively if you purchase a wireless signal repeater (about £40) that would do It | |

Is there anything I can get to boost a wifi signal around the whole house? I no longer have my own internet and I'm using my neighbours but I can only get a signal in 1 room which happens to be the only room in the house we don't use :lol:, would be handy if there is some sort of booster or similar to allow me to get it in any room? |
