Wifi question

[Maxx]

Im trying to get on a open wifi network accross my road but not having much luck. Does anyone know how much power in mw a normal wi-fi card produces?? and also if you can buy an amp to give them more power??

Are you trying to use a wireless network illegally?

You can get boosters and antennas.

Even if its a Open Network. They may have Access Control turned on. Where unless your MAC code of your network card matches you wont get access

Knock on their door and ask for their WEP key

Tbh the network im trying to get belongs to a bar which has free wi-fi in for the public - just a shame its a little bit further away than I want it to. There is someone accross the road but its wep enabled, not on all the time etc :/

Get a program called 'Network Stumbler' and check what the Signal is on the 'Pub' wifi router. if it gets to above 30% you will be able to connect to it.So just move ur wifi card about put it in side a can do any thing
