Translation.

May I use an access point to strengthen a signal? My connection is
frequently broken because of the distance to a hot spot. May I amplify
the signal with an access point. I use have a WAP11 access point.

Thank you for your assistance.

No. An access point is not an RF amplifier, range extender, or
repeater.

I suggest you buy or build a better directional antenna.

No.

True, but one big advantage of an access point, versus a PCI or Cardbus
card, is that you can position it for better reception/transmission,
without the losses inherent in using an antenna cable connected to a PCI
or Cardbus card. This is especially true for Ethernet access points,
since you can have an 100 meter long cable, though even with USB 2.0 you
can go to 5 meters which is often enough to make the difference.

If DSL prices go past $35 or so, I'll put an Ethernet Access point
outside, with an antenna aimed at one of the two free wireless networks
that are a few hundred meters from my house. Then I'll sign up for a VPN
service like http://www.witopia.net.
