I own a NETGEAR FVS124G (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122080) and it has dual wan. My buddy lives diagonal 2 houses down and my next door neighbor both have given me permission to use their wireless connections.
So I was going to hook each wan to a wireless bridge. Does anyone suggest a specific device? It must have removable antennas because most likely I will have to use a cantenna, yagi or parabolic antenna (http://w3bguru.com/wiffy-extreme/) to reach my buddies house.
I have never used a wireless bridge. Is it as simple as just clicking find wireless signals and connect to one? Can I use something like netstumbler? I've heard you can flash linux distros on the WRT54GS which you can configure as a bridge?
Sorry for the random questions.
