Attempting to get my parents free wifi through our neighbors' connection, however, they just gave us the wifi name, and password saying that we'd have to do the rest. Which is understandable, and very nice of them either way. So, the neighbors are across the street, and having been an idiot, my dad did research, found old equipment, and purchased some of it.
Now, I know a bit about routers, and computers, but not this much. I'm not macguyver with tech, at least not as much as I'd like.
So, my dad purchased these items.

Now, they go together physically, but I cannot seem to get them to work together. The router doesn't pick up wireless signals that are farther, or stronger than their laptops even with the antenna attached. Is there something I'm missing? Is the router incorrect?
I would like to scrap the whole mess and start over with one of those all in one units where it's a long range antenna, with a built in router repeater bits, but we don't really have the money to do that.
Please help with whatever you can!
