Hi, I just moved in across the road from my gfs place, and I want to connect to her Wi-fi network, now my place is about 200 metres away, if that, but it does have to go through a few walls.

Now, the wi-fi is provided by a Netgear G-band wireless router, what could I attach to this, or do to connect to the wireless network? Thanks.

try a high gain antenna attached to your network card. 200metres is quiet a length tho especially through obsticles.....ensure she's transmitting wireless G as well.
 
You'd be able to do it incredibly easily if you could avoid those walls. Is there no chance of an external mounting?

I've personally run a 1.2km link in the past using 'wokfi' dishes and usb wireless cards so the distance isn't the problem - the walls are :)
 
Well, I could mount an outdoor antenna because her router is on the side of the house that sort of faces mine, except a tree, then the walls to my house, there isn't anything else in the way (do power cables affect the signal?)

I was thinking of using an indoor antenna because the I haven't got to screw anything in, or make any holes. I forgot to mention that either side of her house has 2 amazing pubs that I spend a lot of time sitting in, now I havn't tried to pick up her wifi in these pubs, but it would be awesome if I could.

I was also thinking about buying a MIMO wireless router and using that to boost the signal, since I already have a MIMO card in my pc, do you think this would work? Cheers.
