Using a router as a boost station.
Called into P C World, and a nice young man told me there was a way to use certain routers as booster stations.
My pal providing me with the free signal happened to mention he'd had two routers in his conservatory, 'to help boost the signal.' I assumed he was mistaken - until today.
He has a Netgear router, I think it's the same as the one I have, a DG 834G.
Plugging the spare into my laptop with a yellow wire does not allow me access on the http// 192 etc., but I can see it loud and clear on the wireless connection. That's as far as my experimentation goes.
Firstly, is it really possible to use this in this mode, and any ideas how I go about it?
Also, why can I not dial it up on my browser when connected with the yellow wire?
