I'd like to access the public wifi broadcast by the local college. Problem is the college's antenna is around the corner of a building from my computer. I get a strong signal in my driveway and I want to know what hardware to mount on the front of my garage to pick up that signal and feed it to my computer, preferably over ethernet rather than by a repeater. I have an older Engenius EL-2611CB3+ Deluxe 802.11b Wireless Client Bridge/Access Point in an outdoor antenna enclosure that was I think used for just this purpose but I can't seem to get past the static IP address configuration page in the instructions. Anyone have any experience with this unit? I also have a wireless n pcmcia card. Is there a way to put it on the end of a 50ft. ethernet cable to accomplish the same thing?
