Hi,
I want to give my neighbor internet access. Here's what I'm proposing to do, please tell me if you can foresee any problems:

My broadband internet feeds into a ParkerVision 1 mile wireless router. My neighbor across the street has a Linksys WET11 Wireless Ethernet Bridge ( http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=432&grid= )
which receives signal from my ParkerVision and supplies internet into the internet port of HIS router. Then, he has my internet connection arriving at his house wirelessly, and it is then redistributed to many computers by his router.

My main concern is: will the wireless network bridge be able to supply internet into my neighbor's router, as if it were his own broadband modem supplying it?

attached is a diagram if my description makes no sense.



thanks,
james.

It's always good to use one router on a network. In this case if the WET11 can make a connection to the ParkerVision device (does the claimed range really work?), your neighbor would then connect the WET11 to a network switch and connect his/her computers to that switch.
