If i wanted to connect to a Wireless router Would i need an access point or a bridge? I don't want to use an Nic because I need to use an out side antenna. So I want to connect my computer up to an Access point or a bridge with a Cat 5 cable. And then to the out side antenna. To my brothers router (D-link Di-524) which is connect to his 2 computers and soon to be DSL connection.
We tried using a router and a NIC but we need to get our antenna up higher to clear a building that is blocking our signal and I don't want to run a RF cable from the NIC to the antenna because I heard it will slow it down.
So what I am asking is Will i Need to buy a Access Point or a Bridge. And what are the differences. And what would be the best one to work with his D-link DI-524)
