My neighbor has agreed to allowing me access to his router. However the signal is weak due to distance between our homes. Is there a way to increase the signal? Could I use my Motorola/Netopia 3347-03 modem/router to increase the signal and or connect to his router?
Thanks

Only if the router can be configured as a wireless bridge.
Check the user manual.

What is the distance to your neighbor's access point?

You may need a wirelesss bridge to make the connection signal stronger.

You can also use a wireless extender and just plug it into your wall making sure it is as close to your neighbors router as possible....
