So I went out this morning as my internet connection was lagging at a inopportune time (was trying to win a real estate auction on foreclosed land) I have cable internet, but the cable coming to my house was put in back in the 1970's and is rather thin. Even cable TV comes in with static at best, internet lag is very common.... ie taking 10 minutes to load a 3 minute youtube video.
My house was recently remodeled and insulated for the cold. Not only was it insulated for the cold, but it was also made pretty RF insulated. Inside my house, I see not 1 wireless network. Soon as i step out of my house I see over 50 different wireless networks. Most of them are secured, there is some unsecured. A secured one that caught my interest was called Shareholders. It is from my native corporation. I talked to the IT person there, he told me the access keys and everything I need to log in, their office is 3 blocks away. It is public internet for anyone getting the signal with a fee, or free for anyone that happens to be a shareholder and can see it.
Problem is inside my house, I can not see the signal. Step out my door I can, or slide the laptop out the window. I want to retransmit that signal inside my house. I just got no idea how. Anyone want to fill me in? I know it will entail me putting a external antenna outside my house, but from there I do not know what to do.
