Question
Hi I have one problem and I am searching for the solution:

I want to connect to internet with my laptop trough WiFi but I have a problem.
I CAN NOT REACH the WiFi signal in my working room. I have a good WiFi signal only in my kitchen.
So what should I do?
I have also a long LAN cable.
So can I connect my laptop and wireless router with the Lan cable, and I positioned the router in the Kitchen to "catch the signal" ?
I am sure that I can share the internet connection with the wireless router  if I put it an "internet signal" as an input on LAN port then I would share wireless internet(trough antenna), but I am not sure if I can do that in opposite way?!
If I got "internet wireless signal"(on antenna) on input and share it trough lan ????

Best Regards

Answer
I'm not following what you are trying to do. If you have a LAN cable running from the router to your work room, then I would just use that. If you can't get a wireless signal from the router, then either move the router, move the computer or get a repeater.

Hope this helps
Scott<>
