Working away at a location that dosen`t have landline broadband.

Can use a dongle and mobile broadband but may hit data limits over the
next couple of months but with a quick survey using my phone can get a
weak Fon connection in one corner.

Have a Fon router back at the house and have found Fon very useful
when out and about, its more reliable than Vodafone`s wack mobile
broadband...

Problem have at location is Fon connection is only weakly available
good few metres from where laptop will be needed.

Is there a way can configure a wif-fi router, located in right spot,
to act as a bridge between cabled laptop and wireless Fon connection?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Cheers
Adam

Depending on how DIY you want to be a cantenna and one of Morgans cheap
WiFi dongles that have a replaceable antenna will do it. Or you can buy
a genuine high gain antenna from eg Dabs or Amazon (~£33). I have one -
it works at full speed over about 100m and is reasonably directional.

Probably needs a low loss cable as well to be able to adjust it.
