I have an Alfa USB wlan usb adapter connected to my laptap and have the possibilty to connect to a public network about 3000 meters away. I use a panel antenna. My question is: Is it possible to use the built-in wlan connection to spread the internet-connection to other laptops and most of all to my wi-fi Nokia N80ie, and in that way be able to set up SIP-calls, and of course connect to the internet?
Thank you! OJF


 
It is possible but you would need a wireless router. Your laptop lan port would plug into that and you would have to bridge you wlan with your lan nic.
