if you want to steal a signal from someone, the buy a external usb wifi adapter, get a large kitchen bowl and line it with tin foil, then suspend the wifi adapter in the middle of the bowl , then tape the bowl to the window.

its basically a wifi satelite. works perfect, me neighbor hasnt paid for internet in 2 years.

But in order to access their router, you need to be connected to the network. Which means you need their WEP/WPA password. Which isn't a default.

will usb extender work if i have an internal antena already?

Re: wireless internet, how to get a better signal?
 

Yah like JagoJon said, you can't do ---- with their settings unless you can connect to the router.

There are tools that you can use with certain networking cards to record a bunch of network traffic and "figure out" the key, but AFAIK it only works on 802.11b networks, and most people now use g or n.

It IS useful when someone leaves their network unlocked. I'll enable mac filtering, add their computers and mine, change the routers ip to something funky, and change the password. If things go welll they'll never ---- with it, and if they try to they'll give up when they can't get to the settings. Worst case they'll reset and probably leave it open again.

There was a network named "------s smell like ----" in my neighborhood for at least 3 months before it was changed, or they moved.
