I’m looking into sharing a neighbour’s internet access as a way to save all some money. Not steal is internet connection, but to share it :-)

I’d like to be able to connect to his Wifi, but to use it was the WAN port of my own network: so my own router, SSID+wired ports, DHCP/IP range, etc.

I guess that I can do this by using 2 devices (eg: a wifi client connected via ethernet to a wired WAN port of a router), but is there an all-in-one equipment which can do this?

    So if you are able to run a direct wired Ethernet connection to the neighbors primary Wifi Router, then this is possible (and will be the best way; but there are problems with this method).

    A wireless/Wifi connection between you and neighbors Internet connection is also possible, but depending on how the wireless connection is done will determine how good the connection will perform.
