Repeat/Extend Wireless School Network?
Last response: in Wireless Networking
Hello,
I used to live in a school dorm with an unencrypted wireless access for students to use (you connect to unencrypted signal but authenticate using a web browser once connected). For my sophomore year I have moved to an apartment just across the street from the dorm. From up in my room I no longer see the signal, but from the bench just outside my window on my ground I can connect. Is there some type of device or antenna I can buy to connect to the network from my new apartment? I'm not sure what device the school is using to broadcast the signal with. I think it's a Cisco device, but that's all I know. Thanks so much.

Do you not think it's better and more considerate to ask the Schools network Administrator this one rather here at than Tom's?
It's better to ask them because they might be able to boost the signal to you without interfering with signals already in the whole apartment block. Related ressources:
