Hi. I currently bridge my neighbors/friends WEP encrypted network into my home wireless network via a usb wifi adapter connected to my mac mini. The mac mini does NAT and redistributes the connection to my own wifi network on a different channel using WPA. The usb wifi adapter is using an antenna which goes out the window for better signal.

I would like to replace the mini with a stand alone wireless bridge but I need one that will accept an external antenna or it will not get a reliable connection. It also needs to support WEP or it will not be able to access the wifi and do NAT to my internal network.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Seems the EOC-3220 EXT Engenius should do the trick and has the same antenna connector as the antenna i am currently using (connector type RP-SMA) .
