Quick question about hardware setup

[Lyo125]

Hi, I'm currently new to this forum and I have a little question about sharing internet in my network and isolate it. Here is the deal.

First of all my internet connection is plug into my wireless router that send signal in the appartment. What I would like to do is to get that WiFi signal using a device (don't know if I need a bridge or an acces point to acheive that task) to transfert it into an Rj45 cable. I would then configure a second router (a wired one) to get that signal form the Rj45 so that my other wired devices would have the internet and no been in the same network than the wireless one.

Is that setup possible, and do I need and acces point or a brigde to acheive that task ?

Here a little drawing of the setup

Your setup as depicted in the linked picture should work.

Make sure that the Access point can be configured as a Client.

These two pages can help in providing few others detailed involving this configuration.

Would that bridge work in the setup (Linksys WET54G) if connected direct on the Wan connecter after I configured it to the network ? Because the wireless network I need to connect to is a linksys one so I assum that I should buy a linksys bridge for a best connection ?

Hmmm... It smells a little like someone may be looking into "borrowing" their neighbor's wireless for Internet access. If so, just keep in mind that by posting on the public forums, tracks are being left behind for any possible resulting legal actions that may result.

If you have separate addresses and domiciles, then the chances are very high that it may be against local laws as well as the ISP's AUP. It's usually defined as "theft of services" by local laws. It's equivalent to "stealing cable TV", if that applies to where you live.

Once again, your IP is tracked and will be provided, if summoned by law enforcement authorities.
