Default wifi connection

Ok hey guys. let me start out by saying that i want to "borrow" my neighbors internet connection. Currently i see linksys and its connection speed is 11mbps and i see 2 other password protected networks and can see even though i cant connect their connection speed is faster.

If you feel what im doing is morally wrong then just please dont post in this thread. if you are willing to assist read on if not. Stop reading and refrain from posting


anyways what i had was this im going to post links to similar kits i got but it maybe not through the same website anyways

at first i got:
Ultimate Range Notebook Kit || Notebook Wifi
the wifi card in that kit is:
Pasadena Networks, LLC Senao NL-2511CD PLUS EXT2 200mw PCMCIA WiFi 802.11b

the antenna broke it it was made from rice paper rofl
so i got:
WiFi Antenna | Mobile Magnetic Mount Wireless Antennas

the connection wasnt strong enough and it wasnt steady always got disconected

SO then i got this:
Newegg.com - Zonet ZEW2500P USB 2.0 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless Adapter - Retail
and tossed the rest of what i had in a old shoe box. Im more or less very satisfied with this just want better and wider signal. The antenna doesnt seem to be removable. SO is their a way to buy something to increase the signal?

I had a stupid idea.
Get this: Flexible USB Adapter Af/mini 5p M, White
plug that into the usb thing on the wifi adapter i have. then from the usb from that adapter get this Newegg.com - Zonet ZUN2210 USB 2.0 to RJ-45 Ethernet Converter - Retail which will make it have a ethernet port. connect a ethernet cable from that to the router
but im not sure if i buy a wireless router or access point/bridge and get im not sure if you can configure the router to recognize the adapter as an internet receiver without it being connected to a PC
im trying to figure out how that router will be able to get the wireless connection from the adapter.not sure if you can receive it from the neighbour and send it to the router, then on to the wired PCs


Any other suggestions without buying a totally new card and antenna and all. Like a external antenna that i can plug into my usb port that will increase the range and signal of the zonet adapter i have? Because in all reality thats all i want

O btw im in the basement of my house and that usb wifi adapter is currently put near the window in my room in the basement thats where i get the best signal

Hmm i opened it up today to look at the antenna. here are some pics of the unit and were the antenna connects inside it on the chip

Becuase i was thinking maybe i can solder on to it any antenna or even the cantenna or whatever.

see what you think would this be possible from what u see in the pics bellow? or what other option do i have besides replacing this?








opened up:






Is it possible or what other alternative do i have beside doing something like this? Would it work on every antenna and obviously would it work at all? lol

Sorry for crappy quality pics my camera isnt the best
