| Convert USB Cantenna Kit to work with a Router |
|
Thank you for rating this answer.

I purchased your cantenna kit and cannot speak more highly of this antenna. I am trying to take it a step further. For instance, say I pick up a wireless connection with my cantenna. I am feeding that "signal" into my computer and it works great. Do you offer a device that receives that signal from the cantenna and feed it into a wireless router or a wired ethernet router? Thanks
We are very glad to hear about your experience with the cantenna!
You need what is known as a bridge which will convert your wireless signal to Ethernet.
The Cisco/Linksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT third party firmware will acomplish this. The WRT54GL is actually a solid state Linux computer. The DD-WRT firmware adds an enormous amount of options which allows you to do almost anything. One of those options is to set it up as a wireless client bridge. It is all very easy web based configuration. You do not need to know Linux commands to set things up. We sell them here and will even pre-load the DD-WRT firmware if you like:

Note that the WRT54GL is a special version that runs Linux. The WRT54G (without the L) that you might find at a Best Buy or other store, will not allow this type of modification.
Information about DD-WRT is here:

With either option, you end up with a standard Ethernet connection that you can plug into your laptop, or into the Internet port of a router as you
mentioned.
Also, these boxes have the RP-TNC connector, so you will need this adapter to use your existing RP-SMA to N Male cable that came with your cantenna kit:
