Hello, This is a bit uncommon question: - I have a PC running linux in a basement which is quite far from the Access Point of the house. I want to take advantage of this place to work and to be able to connect to the Internet from this PC in this quite corner. I cannot see the wireless Access Point while scanning with this PC. I tried to connect a long USB cable with a USB wireless NIC, but I get USB errors while using it. I know I can try to move the wireless Access Point closer, but I am afraid that other PCs (which also run Linux) will then suffer lose of wireless connection. I really want to solve my problem without moving it. so my question is: What do you advise ? can I use the exisiting infrasturcture without changes (only additions are OK) to be able to connect to the internet?
Can I somehow connect a second wireless Access Point by ethernet cable, and then connect that Access Point (by wireless) to the first, main Access Point ? (something like a bridge). I saw something which is called Wireless Distribution System (WDS) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Distribution_System Could I use this ? is there any wireless Access Point which is sold in local stores in Israel which supports this feature ?
