Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
hi guys, my dsl's been pissing me off lately having to wait like 5 minutes to buffer a 5 minute clip on youtube, here's my setup i know we got some network gurus here so tell me if this is possible
Right now i got dsl from quest for $26+ tax i get 20-30k downloading ----. My neighbor has comcast cable that gets 30-50k and is wiling to share his internet, I have his wireless key, I have another neighbor with an unsecured wireless network from a satellite provider that gets about 20-30k downloading. Lately i just use my dsl for email, myspace hmt and ---- like that and switch to my neighbors wireless for you tube, but i dont want to hogg his bandwidth. Is there any way I can connect to both my network and his, and maybe the other one, at the same time using a wireless router. I have to buy one any way for my printer?

My high speed cable is like 2k. 
I pay $82/month for internet and basic cable.
Wireless networks suck. I have to reset mine at least once every two weeks because it just forgets what's going on.

Just steal off the other neighbor, its hilarious how many times you can pick up a signal like that. Datalogging in my civic, tim picked up a signal from one of my neighbors, and my girlfriend in Florida is picking one up from one of her grandmas neighbors.

use a dishnet or other generic satelite, tape or secure wirless usb key to location of lnb, then run a usb to ethernet adapter and run ethernet cable to your computer, then point the dish towards neighbor.
easy yet extremly effective way to steal internet.

Re: Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
what if i get two wireless adapters for my pc, and just use it as a server for all our other computers? will it be able to recognize the two networks and share bandwidth? i know im not the first person to think about connecting a bunch of networks together to get one fast connection?
