Hi.
I have a question. I've never done repeater stuff etc so I don't know what I would need for my configuration to work.
Basically it looks like this:
Router A" with broadcast wifi, it is far away (my antenna and adapter needs to be out of the window to catch signal), this adapter is connected via usb to my pc 1", I would need something like a repeater to connect the wifi adapter to and broadcast or to connect the repeater to the pc and rebroadcast the wifi in some way. To make things clearer:
Router far away<my adapter out of the window (waterproof!)<Repeater rebroadcasting+connect via cable to:<PC1" .
OR
Router far away<my adapter out of the window (waterproof!)<pc1"<to repeater via cable (rj 45)<rebroadcast.as wifi
I would be happy if someone could tell me how to set it all up right. Sorry for my poor English.

You cannot really use a repeater the way you are configured.

What would work is to get a second wireless adapter and attach to your PC, setup an ad hoc wireless network and share the Internet connection from the first adapter by enabling ICS (Internet connection sharing) on the adapter that has wireless Internet access. (HERE is an explanation of the steps using Vista, but it is the same for later Windows versions).
