Hi,
Recently attended a customer who had (mistakenly) cabled their laptop to
their wireless router which had then connected to the next door neighbours
wireless router and provided a good connection to the neighbours broadband
service. I showed them the error of their ways! but it proves that
piggy-backing routers is possible without significant loss of connection
quality.
