[QUOTE="LoverOfWine, post: 1630859, member: 544933"] The problem is more on their side than yours. You are "stealing" their network and their bandwidth. Truthfully it is not legal to do that. And, just because you can see their wireless doesn't mean you can use it. If there are secure then you would need their network key to connect. By a router (DLink DIR-655 is one of the best right now for the money http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530) and when you install it follow the directions for making it secure so other people don't tap into your network. If you have problems setting it up either email me or post to this forum for help. I'll be honest, when I installed it last year it was really simple (and I don't usually read instructions :)). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
